Produktbeschreibung

In 1940, Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium, Poland and Czechoslovakia fell, and only two weeks remained before the evacuation of troops from the coast of France. The inhabitants of London and the surrounding area expected from day to day the invasion of German troops from the sea and from the air, and ahead was the Battle of Britain - an exhausting confrontation with the forces of the Luftwaffe. In this difficult time for the country, Winston Churchill took over as Prime Minister of Great Britain to demonstrate to the whole world what true political leadership is. In his book, Eric Larson describes the daily life of Churchill, his family and ordinary citizens during the darkest year in the history of London in the 20th century, based on diaries, archival documents and declassified intelligence reports, some of which have become available to historians only recently. Fear and Hope is a fascinating tale of how the eloquence and perseverance of a great statesman united a nation in the face of an onslaught of relentless terror.
