  Would you like to delve deeper into the life of Winston Churchill without tackling lengthy biographies? Join The History Journals for an hour-long historical journey focused on his role during World War II. 
   
  After guiding the nation through five tumultuous years of World War II, Winston Churchill faced weariness and uncertainty about Britain's post-war future. What were his thoughts? The seasoned leader harbored concerns that the British Empire, exhausted and financially strained from prolonged conflict, might be overshadowed by its more potent American and Russian allies as the war neared its conclusion. Churchill had devoted his all to King and country, and while an Allied victory promised to be his crowning achievement, he remained prudent. Astonishingly, his continued tenure as the nation's Prime Minister was far from guaranteed. 
   
  Discover: 
  - Churchill's apprehensions regarding Stalin and post-war Russia's influence 
  - The significance of the Okinawa battle in the European war's outcome 
  - Global awareness of multiple concentration camp atrocities 
  - The transition following FDR's funeral and Harry S. Truman's international emergence 
  - The fierce battle and capture of Berlin 
  - VE Day and the recognition of Winston's selfless service to a grateful nation.

  Keir Starmer: The Biography

  THE BESTSELLING BIOGRAPHY OF THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER 
  A Times Book of the Year; A Telegraph Book of the Year; A Daily Mail Book of the Year; A Waterstones Book of the Year 
  ‘Required reading for anyone who has an interest in who governs Britain' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL 
  'This will be the most important political book of the year’ MATTHEW D’ANCONA, EVENING STANDARD 
  This authoritative – but not authorised – biography by Tom Baldwin provides answers by drawing deeply on many hours of interviews with Prime Minister himself, as well as unprecedented access to members of his family, his oldest friends and closest colleagues. 
  Together, they tell an unexpectedly intimate story filled with feelings of grief and love that has driven him on more than any rigid ideology or loyalty to a particular faction. 
  The book tracks Starmer’s emergence from a troubled small town background and rebellious youth, through a storied legal career as a human rights barrister and the country’s chief prosecutor, to becoming an MP relatively late in life. 
  Baldwin provides a vivid and compelling account of how this untypical politician then rose to be leader of his party in succession to Jeremy Corbyn, then transformed it with a ruthless rapidity that has enraged opponents from the left just as much as it has bewildered those on the right. 
  Above all, this is a book that should be read by anyone who wants to understand how someone who has too often been underestimated or dismissed as dull, now intends to change Britain. 
  'The first serious and consistently readable biography of Starmer…It is a wonder that he has said so much to Baldwin' PATRICK MAGUIRE, THE TIMES 
  'This is an absolutely riveting and very timely biography' AMOL RAJAN 
  ‘Highly readable… Baldwin has peeled back more layers than anyone else' ROBERT SHRIMSLEY, FINANCIAL TIMES 
  This Sunday Times bestselling book is a journey through the history of democracy in the 21st century. It's an autobiography that explores the ideologies and processes that have shaped European politics. 
  For fans of Rory Stewart (Politics On the Edge), and Bob Woodward (The Final Days).

  Marshall's Great Captain -...

  On May 3, 1943, dozens of planes could be seen flying in and out of Royal Air Force Bovingdon Airfield. Among the aircraft seen that day was a B-24D bomber named Hot Stuff, which carried the Commanding General of US Forces in Europe, Lieutenant General Frank M. Andrews—the officer charged with formulating a plan to invade Europe. Speculation was that General George C. Marshall had called Andrews back to Washington, DC, leading many to believe that Marshall had another promotion in store for Andrews. Tragically, Andrews would never arrive. While attempting to land in Iceland, the bomber crashed into a mountain, with no survivors other than the tail gunner; Andrews's personal papers were also destroyed. 
   
   
   
  In Marshall's Great Captain, author Kathy Wilson details Andrews's extraordinary life and career. The first biography dedicated to the namesake of Joint Base Andrews, this book sheds a light on Andrews's crucial role in orchestrating US involvement in WWII, as well as the professional relationship between Andrews and Marshall. Wilson raises Andrews's legacy to its legitimate place within the annals of both air power and WWII history and posits that there is a high probability that Andrews was Marshall's first choice for the office of Supreme Allied Commander. Marshall recounted that Andrews was the only one he had a chance to prepare for such a command.
