Synopsis: ‘. . . the wonderful thing is that three quarters of the population of this world imagine that Winston Churchill is one of the strategists of history, a second Marlborough, and the other quarter have no conception what a public menace he is and has been throughout the war! It is far better that the world should never know and never suspect the feet of clay on that otherwise superhuman being. Without him England was lost for a certainty, with him England has been on the verge of disaster time and again . . . Never have I admired and disliked a man simultaneously to the same extent’ Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke, Chief of the Imperial General Staff
