A major new history of Churchill in the 1930s, showing how his meetings at Chartwell, his country home, strengthened his fight against the Nazis

In the 1930s, amidst an impending crisis in Europe, Winston Churchill found himself out of government and with little power. In these years, Chartwell, his country home in Kent, became the headquarters of his campaign against Nazi Germany. He invited trusted advisors and informants, including Albert Einstein and T. E. Lawrence, who could strengthen his hand as he worked tirelessly to sound the alarm at the prospect of war.

Katherine Carter tells the extraordinary story of the remarkable but little known meetings that took place behind closed doors at Chartwell. From household names to political leaders, diplomats to spies, Carter reveals a fascinating cast of characters, each of whom made their mark on Churchill's thinking and political strategy. With Chartwell as his base, Churchill gathered intelligence about Germany's preparations for war—and, in doing so, put himself in a position to change the course of history.

Nicely written and I'm enjoying the female reader. But there's too much attention for my taste on the endless details of the Churchill "citadel"... called Chartwell....and its grounds. Also the never ending flow of famous guests. I'm mostly interested in the history of the British accommodationists snd Churchill's brave fight to wake them up. And there's plenty of that too. I'll be accused of misogyny but in the main, it's more a woman's book than a guy's. I don't believe most men will find the many details concerning what was served for each meal all that gripping. I think the writer herself might agree with me, This is not a negative judgment . Just a matter of personal interest.

good book but too many household details.

The narrator has a fine voice and delivery, but why oh why didn’t she check the correct pronunciation of “Admiralty”?? No, it’s not “Admirality” [sic] in the UK or anywhere else…

Excellent Book, Narrator Good but “Admirality”??
