Churchill's hour

In 1941, Churchill knows that his country will not survive, let alone win the war, without help. The involvement of America is his only hope, no matter what the political cost - but little does he realize how great the personal damage will be. Will he save his country by allowing his own family to be destroyed?

  • "In 1941, the war appears to be going badly on many fronts, but Britain, battered, bloody and almost bankrupt, limps on. Churchill knows his country cannot win the war alone. An alliance with America is paramount and Churchill is determined to develop and use a friendship with Averall Harriman, American Ambassador to Britain and personal friend of President Franklin Roosevelt. But his son's wife exploits the friendship first. Pamela's passionate affair presents Churchill with the appalling dilemma between saving his country and allowing his son Randolph to be cuckolded. America continued resolute against fighting, but by the year's close Pearl Harbour had forced America into the war. Why had the Japanese been persuaded to attack American targets? And how were rumours of the attack prevented from reaching American ears? Decisions of love and war are often matters of perception. And so it was in this case."@en
