A provocative historical study that re-examines six strands of Churchilliana and the British establishment during and after World War II. The author assembles archival detail and contemporary testimony to question familiar narratives of leadership, loyalty and influence.

The book addresses how wartime decisions and postwar politics shaped public life: debates about senior figures' conduct, ties between intellectuals and problematic ideologies, the limits of political authority after Dunkirk, and the social tensions that surfaced in the early 1950s.

  • Argues grounds for formal inquiry into a senior wartime figure.
  • Examines alleged Nazi sympathies among prominent historians.
  • Reconsiders establishment doubts about Churchill after Dunkirk.
  • Explores union policy and concessions in Churchill's later years.
  • Details the early story of black immigration and public reaction.
  • Describes strained attitudes from the royal household circa 1940.

Suitable for readers of modern British history and political biography, this work offers a revisionist, evidence-led look at mid-20th-century Britain.
