Does Churchill deal with the Pacific war?

[Netz]

Churchill had to deal with both the ETO and PTO.

He struggles (alone) to shuffle forces globally while maintaining enough of a reserve to repel an expected invasion of Britain (”Sea Lion”) that never came.

It is amazing to see British loss after loss and and ever increasing menace to Australia only to see the US enter the war and begin gearing up for a long term counter strike.

What one sees is that England stood alone and was supplied by FDR. After Pearl Harbor Churchill knew it was the beginning of the end for the Axis powers. Absolutely fascinated and his prose are what one would expect from the very elite of English society.

I am enjoying every moment.
