In this book, the author tells the story of how, as Prime Minister, First Chancellor of the Exchequer, Defense Minister and Leader of the House of Commons in the early days of World War II, when Germany launched a fatal attack on Britain, in the absence of external assistance, he led the British people to fight bravely and jointly passed through the most difficult period of the war. During this period, although the British people were isolated and helpless, they always held on to the fortress and tenaciously resisted the air attacks of German aircraft day and night. The situation in North Africa is even less optimistic, and the Italians are taking the opportunity to continue to encroach on North African countries. Under this situation, the British government actively sought support from the United States, Spain and other countries in an attempt to jointly fight against the further expansion of fascism.
