SECRETS OF CHURCHILL’S WAR ROOMS

Book ID/图书代码： 12751018C00020

English Summary/英文概要： On May 10, 1940, Britain s new prime minister strode purposefully down to the basement of an anonymous government building and entered a top secret command center. This, growled Winston Churchill, is the room from which I will run the war. At the wars end, Churchill and his colleagues left the chamber and locked the door behind them and the War Rooms remained there, untouched and little known, until the early 1980s. Today, those historic chambers are on display as the Churchill War Rooms exhibit. With Secrets of Churchill’s War Rooms, you can go behind the glass partitions that separate the War Rooms from the visiting public, bringing readers closer than ever before to where Churchill not only ran the war but won it. This magnificent volume offers up-close photography of details in every room and provides access to sights unavailable on a simple tour of Churchill War Rooms. These are views that few people in the world have ever seen. Go behind closed doors to sit at Churchill s desk, open up long-abandoned drawers and sift through seventy-year old papers. See the anxious scratches on the arms of Sir Winston s chair, pick up the phone that he used to speak to the president of the United States, and examine the map that loomed over his bed as he took his famous afternoon naps. Including three hundred detailed images and first-hand memories of Churchill as a leader, a boss, a father, a husband, and a man, Secrets of Churchill’s War Rooms tells the fascinating story of the work carried out in these underground offices.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1940年5月10日，英国新首相迈斯特尔德坚定地走到一个匿名政府大楼的地下室，进入了一个最高机密指挥中心。温斯顿•丘吉尔咆哮道，这就是我要发动战争的地方。在战争结束时，丘吉尔和他的同事们离开了密室，锁上了他们身后的门，直到20世纪80年代早期，战争的房间一直没有被人发现，也鲜为人知。今天，这些历史悠久的密室被陈列在丘吉尔战争展厅里。有了丘吉尔战时密室的秘密，你可以躲在分隔战争房间的玻璃隔板后面，让读者比以往任何时候都更亲近丘吉尔不仅在战争中作战，而且赢得了战争。这一宏伟的体积提供了在每个房间的细节的近景摄影，并提供了在一个简单的参观丘吉尔战争房间的机会。这些观点是世界上很少有人见过的。躲在紧闭的门后，坐在丘吉尔的办公桌前，打开早已废弃的抽屉，仔细翻阅七十七年的旧报纸。看到温斯顿先生的椅子扶手上的焦急的划痕，拿起他曾经和美国总统通话的电话，看看他在下午打盹时在床上的地图。包括300张详细的照片，以及丘吉尔作为领袖、老板、父亲、丈夫和一个人的第一手回忆，丘吉尔的战争房间的秘密讲述了这些地下办公室里的工作的精彩故事。（WYL）
