_a"Former Foreign Secretary David Owen has written a new history of the pivotal British War Cabinet meetings of May 1940. The minutes of these meetings reveal just how close Britain came to seeking a negotiated peace with Nazi Germany. Cabinet’s Finest Hour is both the story of Churchill’s determination to fight on and a paean to the Cabinet system of government. The Cabinet system, all too often disparaged as messy and cumbersome, worked in Britain’s interests and ensured a democracy on the brink of defeat had the courage to assess the alternatives to fighting on. The post-war denial of both the existence and legitimacy of the war cabinet debates had far-reaching consequences for Britain’s foreign policy for the rest of the century, notably over the Suez Crisis but arguably as far as the Second Iraq War." -- _cHaus Publishing site. _uhttps://hauspublishing.com/non-fiction/cabinets-finest-hour-the-hidden-agenda-of-may-1940-by-david-owen |
