Description: "Only a few times in the history of the Second World War was the outlook so dire that the House of Commons met secretly, in order that the enemy wouldn't catch wind of their counsel. This collection of secret session speeches therefore comprises the most desperate military moments of the conflict, including the 'Battle of the Atlantic', the fall of France and the defeat of Singapore, which was likely the greatest setback of Churchill's wartime premiership. The collection covers the period from September 1940 to December 1942, after which the war turned in favour of the Allies and the need for secret sessions was over."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
