host: what was the story about winston churchill and new york city? m: churchill in the 1930's is in new york city trying to recover his fortune by speaking and giving a speaking tour. he had lost a lot of money in the stock market crash. he was on the outs politically with his own party in london. york, certain -- trying to make some money and maybe trying to repair his political situation. wrong way and is hit by a car and dragged many yards. his scalp is lacerated, ribs are broken, he could have died. he called it one of the lowest points in his life. great physical pain, really feeling isolated politically, not knowing what his future is. in fact, after that, 1933 he gets up in the house of commons and gives his first anti-nazi speech saying we cannot live with the nazis. all you are doing is making the outcome harder because they are growing in power. he repeatedly gives speeches saying germany is rearming, building a force. he is mocked by his own party. he is treated that she is bypassed by history. he is kept out of the cabinet by his own party

yet three days later neville chamberlain was gone and winston churchill was premised her. and on that very day, hitler did launch in europe. this book is the story of how all of that came to be and how winston churchill and that's where he did. i would like to talk a little bit about how i got the idea for the book. it grew out of research that my husband who is sitting over there and i did on two previous books both of them touching on england in the spring and summer of 1940. that's when he took power and when fans and the rest of your file and germany launched the battle of britain. that story is without question i don't think anybody would disagree. as we researched that the period it seemed to me behind the scenes story of how churchill came to power involved the tory rebels defying the party and the prime minister was in its way just as significant and fascinating as the story of churchill himself. because if it hadn't been for them and further parliamentary colleagues that joined them in against the norway debate, churchill probably would never have come to power an
