T. Fowler’s Reviews > IN COMMAND OF HISTORY: CHURCHILL FIGHTING AND WRITING THE SECOND WORLD WAR > Status Update

At the end of the section on "The Hinge of Fate," Reynolds continues to show how Churchill has moulded his history to show the story he wants.

"Churchill the warlord is the main theme of Their Finest Hour...Churchill recognized the bleakness of Brtain's predicament - whatever his public bravado, there were moments of private doubt ... Much of this does not appear in the war memoirs, though it can sometimes be discerned by a careful reading."
