Book ID/图书代码： 04640007B13231
English Summary/英文概要： Some historians dismiss the “phony war” that preceded this turning point—from September 1939, when Britain and France declared war on Germany, to May 1940, when Winston Churchill became prime minister—as a time of waiting and inaction, but Olson makes no such mistake, and describes in dramatic detail the public unrest that spread through Britain then, as people realized how poorly prepared the nation was to confront Hitler, how their basic civil liberties were being jeopardized, and also that there were intrepid politicians willing to risk political suicide to spearhead the opposition to Chamberlain—Harold Macmillan, Robert Boothby, Leo Amery, Ronald Cartland, and Lord Robert Cranborne among them.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1940年5月，英、法兩國聯盟正式對德國宣戰！作者Olson詳細刻畫「英國第一偉人」，「20世紀最重要的政治領袖之一」的前英國首相邱吉爾，他帶領英國在二次大戰獲得勝利，而光環的背後，不能遺忘一群大膽無畏的政治家們，因為他們勇於建言，為邱吉爾與英國勝利打下基礎。
從1939年9月開始，英法與德國一直處於緊張對立關系，一些歷史學家甚至認為這些歐洲的紛爭，只是雷大雨小。整個英國社會動盪不安，人民無力對抗希特勒的侵略，基本人權飽受威脅，當時英國內閣首相張伯倫（Neville Chamberlain）主張綏靖政策(註)[S1] ，一直不願對德宣戰，在之後歷史評價上倍受譴責。當時有一些勇敢無懼的政治家，例如：Harold Macmillan, Robert Boothby, Leo Amery, Ronald Cartland, Robert Cranborne，他們團結一致對抗白金漢官的官方立場，堅持勇於建言，這些隱入歷史閣樓中的人物活現在這部作品，在希特勒那段瘋狂年代，我們了解屹立在政治風雨與荒野中，不只邱吉爾一個人，成功者的背後，曾經有許多人默默耕耘。
