CHURCHILL AT WAR
Book ID/图书代码: 00530014B75982
English Summary/英文概要: Winston Churchill’s policy of total war against Nazi Germany faced determined opposition from powerful parts of Britain’s political and military elite during 1941-42. Few at the time could foresee Britain winning the war, and many wanted to make peace with Hitler.
During these dramatic months, the young Australian prime minister Robert Menzies spent several months in Britain, as German bombs rained down on London and the British army in the Middle East was facing defeat. It was in this desperate atmosphere that Menzies was encouraged by various disaffected figures, and his own overweening ambition, to lead a secret political putsch against Churchill and chart a path towards peace.
The wily Churchill was alerted to his opponents’ plans and laid political traps of his own. The future of the world hung in the balance as the secret struggle between these powerful men played out during the darkest days of the war.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 1941至42年,Winston Churchill对抗纳粹德国的全面战争政策面临着来自英国政党和军事精英们中强大力量的决定性的反对。那时很少有人能预见英国赢得战争,很多人想与Hitler达成和平。
当德国的炸弹雨点般散落在伦敦,英国军队在中东地区面临失败时,在戏剧性的几个月中,年轻的澳大利亚总理Robert Menzies呆在英国。在这种绝望的氛围下,Menzies被各种不满的人物和他自己自负的野心所驱使,领导了一场秘密的政治暴动,反对Churchill,规划一条通往和平的道路。
智慧的Churchill对他对手的计划很警惕,部下了他自己的政治陷阱。世界的未来紧扣在这些强大的人在战争最黑暗的日子里上演的秘密斗争中。(LNL)
