Hitler's Blitzkrieg erupts across Western Europe, thrusting British Private Bill Brooks into the hellish maw of modern war. Commanded by his elder brother, Lieutenant Jameson Brooks, Bill confronts staggering German assaults in the blood-soaked fields of Belgium and France. As the war darkens, Bill's hopes of making it to his French bride, Augusta, and keeping her safe from the Nazi wave, look more impossible. In London, Winston Churchill is appointed Prime Minister on the very day the German offensive begins. Haunted by the ghosts of his Gallipoli failure, he battles a fractious Parliament, a contentious War Cabinet, wavering French allies, and the German steamroller. As Bill claws for survival on the front lines, Winston fights to keep Britain in the war. Torn between conflicting duties, doubts and desires, both men wrestle with soul-crushing decisions that alter their lives and the course of history.
