June, 1944. The Allied forces stand on the brink of the greatest invasion in history - the landing on the beaches of Normandy. This is a crucial first step in the campaign to free Europe from Nazi Germany, but Winston Churchill, the British prime minister, fears that if the invasion fails, history will remember him chiefly as an architect of carnage.

Churchill, an intimate portrait of the man behind the famous speeches, explores the heavy burden of responsibility he had to bear.
