The Phoney Victory

Book • 2018
In 'The Phoney Victory', Peter Hitchens questions the conventional narrative of World War II as a 'Good War', arguing that Britain's entry into the war led to its decline and that the Allies sometimes used immoral methods.

He critiques the idea that Britain went to war to save the Jewish population and highlights the unpreparedness of Britain and France for a major European conflict.
