One of the important purposes of this book is to debunk the legend that Churchill during the war was the embodiment of the will of the people, that he led the free world virtually united behind him to victory. In fact, from 1940 on he led an increasingly discordant nation. He confronted a persistent chorus of criticism and personal attacks. The portrait skillfully developed here shows how the immense popularity he had enjoyed in 1940 declined to a low point by 1942, when Japanese successes in the Pacific and Allied reversals in Africa and Europe combined with charges against Churchill of dictatorial control at home. -- Taken from book jacket.
