“If the Allies had resisted Hitler strongly in his early stages...he would have been forced to recoil, and a chance would have been given to the sane elements in German life.”
— Winston S. Churchill, 1948 World War II was the defining event of our age—the climactic clash between liberty and tyranny. It led to revolutions, the demise of empires, a protracted Cold War, and religious strife still not ended. Yet Churchill maintained that it was all avoidable. Could WW2 have been prevented? My conclusion is yes—at one point in particular—but with great difficulty. Here is a transformative view of Churchill’s theories, prescriptions, actions, and the degree to which he pursued them in the decade before the war. It shows that he was both right and wrong: right that Hitler could have been stopped; wrong that he did all he could to stop him. It is based on what really happened—evidence that has been “hiding in public” for many years, thoroughly referenced in over 200 footnotes to Churchill’s words and those of his contemporaries. CHURCHILL AND THE AVOIDABLE WAR is available as a Kindle Single or an illustrated paperback. At only 27,000 words, it can be digested in a couple of evenings.
