Richard Lamb is an eminent historian and journalist. He served with the British Eighth Army in Italy during World War II. In a brilliant work of historical investigation, Lamb reveals secrets about Winston Churchill never before published.
"Winston Churchills leadership during World War II meant that Britain and Europe escaped the threat of a Nazi takeover. However, during his time in office he made serious blunders which he later tried to cover up. In Churchill As War Leader Richard Lamb uncovers secrets unmentioned in Churchills own memoirs, official war histories or his official biography.
Richard lamb exposes a myth Churchills postwar claim that his colleagues and Admirals concurred in his decision to sink the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir in 1940, a mistake which made an enemy of France and resulted in 10,000 British casualties in the war with Syria. The book also explores Churchills less-than-cordial relations with Roosevelt, and reveals how Churchill made a grave error in accepting the Communist propaganda which encouraged him to back Tito.
Richard Lamb pays tribute to Churchills fine qualities, and gives new insight into a great leader who made mistakes and rash decisions that changed the course of history. His meticulous original research replaces the traditional newsreel image of Churchill without denigrating him."
