Were World Wars I and II Inevitable? Where the Necessary Wars? Or were they products of calamitous failures of judgment? The author makes the case that, if not for the blunders of British statesman – Winston Churchill first among them – the horrors of two world wars and the Holocaust might have been avoided and the British Empire might never have collapsed into ruins. Half a century of murderous oppression of scores of millions under the iron boot of Communism tyranny might never have happened, and Europe’s central role in world affairs might have been sustained for many generations.
