Publisher's Summary
‘This is the room from which I will direct the war,’ Churchill declared, shortly after becoming Prime Minister in 1940. And he did just that, as the distinguished Churchill biographer Richard Holmes explains in the first history of the Cabinet War Rooms. It was from these cramped confines that Churchill turned a seemingly inevitable defeat at the hands of the Nazis into a famous victory.
Yet he was based in the very heart of the capital. Built in 1938 as a temporary refuge in case of air raid attack, this secret bunker became a second home to Churchill, and to large numbers of military personnel and civil servants.
