Ten days that saved the west
libdoc October=1991

Author(s) Costello John
Publisher: Bantam Press 1991

World/War/2 Military

Contents include:
"Ten Days that Saved the West can truly claim to be the first
behind the scenes account of the agonizing history of 1940. It
uncovers the conspiracy that brought Churchill to power against
the wishes of the King and the Conservative Party; how Foreign
Secretary Lord Halifax and his deputy `Rab' Butler came near to
treason in their bid to force Churchill into peace negotiations,
and how close Churchill himself came to being ousted. It reveals
that Ambassador Joseph Kennedy was the prime suspect for `The
Doctor', the codename given by Hess's staff to his source of
British cabinet secrets. It uncovers the real reason why Hitler
halted the advance on Dunkirk and details the German plot to
bring the Duke of Windsor back to the throne. It exposes the
masterful cunning with which Churchill exploited an American spy
scandal to silence his enemies and blackmail President Roosevelt
into helping Britain." (Publishers text)
