The library shelves groan with studies of Churchill. Compared to most, Haffner s book is slim, fast-paced and written with the body barely cold. It can, however, be read with great pleasure, profit and speed without the slightest danger of tiring grey cells or arms. The mind behind it, to adapt a phrase of Bryan Magee s, was provincial neither in time nor in place. Churchill welcomed the victims of the axis powers to the last great European capital to hold out against them. Haffner repaid his personal debt most handsomely within these pages. Peter Hennessy
