I was looking at the recent trailers added to the Internet movie Database, and one of them is on Winston Churchill during the period covered by this book. I can't wait to see if, but I don't think it is suppose to be out until December 2018. I hope I got that wrong.
The author's premise is that during these five days, the British cabinet came close to agreeing to discuss with Hitler his terms for ending the war. Churchill opposed this, and finally won over most of the cabinet. If he had agreed, Hitler would have won "his war," as the author termed it. Afterwards, Hitler never had a chance to win "his war," only to end a war and establish a status quo. Fortunately, things went slowly downhill for the Nazis and the world is a better place, even with all the problems we have now.
Still, readers should be aware the author isn't always clear in his arguments and rambles somewhat, making it difficult to follow his premise at time, which is why I give it three stars.
