The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Alone, 1932-40 by William ManchesterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
It never fails to amaze me how far the appeasement policy went during WWII. Hitler was able to take over the Rhineland, Austria, Sudetenland, and the rest of Czechoslovakia before even meeting resistance. It was only going into Poland that he actually had to battle, and even then Chamberlain wanted to sign a deal with him.
So this book is riveting, not just for what Churchill did, but for everything going on in Europe at the time. I can’t wait to read the 3rd volume.
