It's gutwrenching, reading Churchill fortnight after fortnight from the beginning of 1936 saying now, it has to be now, WE HAVE TO ACT NOW. And nobody listened. Instead as Hitler and his fellow citizens went about their business, snatching this part and then that of surrounding countries, people did the thing they do so often in the presence of a bully. They do nothing and hope that it only happens to other people and not to them. And then it happens to them. Which is not to say that some people weren't okay with it happening to them. But for those for whom it wasn't okay, the ones who did eventually turn to arms, how differently it might have all panned out if only people hadn't just read Churchill, but listened to him. Anyway, I've scarcely started this and I hope I can finish it. But it is utterly harrowing.

Tem a prequela (não seriada)
In the years following the great depression, with Germany rearming and the rise of fascism across Europe being met with a policy of appeasement from the Democratic countries, Winston Churchill stood as a rare voice in the wilderness, warning of the dangers to come. Now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two, Step By Step is a powerful collection of Churchill's newspaper writings in the years before the outbreak of war. Including his writings on the inadequacy of Britain's navy, the dramas of the Spanish Civil War, the influence of the Soviet Union and the alliance between Hitler and Mussolini, the book is a powerful demonstration of Churchill's political foresight and the power of his writing.
