Winston Churchill and the Crisis of 1940 with Dr. Casey
Sir Winston Churchill became Prime Minister in May 1940, a moment of grave danger for Britain. Hitler’s Blitzkrieg in the West was smashing through the Allies, soon to force the British into a humiliating evacuation from Dunkirk. The political situation in London was no less dangerous. Churchill had minimal support in Parliament, where he was disliked and distrusted by many; and his own War Cabinet was pressuring him into a diplomatic settlement with the Nazis. In this lecture, Professor Terrence Casey will examine how Churchill led the nation through these darkest hours.

The Splendid and the Vile: A saga of the Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz by Erik Larson with Elmer Guerri
In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson shows, in detail, how Churchill taught the British people “the art of being fearless.” It is a story of political brinkmanship, but it’s also an intimate domestic drama. Drawing on diaries, original archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports— some released only recently—Larson provides a new lens on London’s darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family.
