'Taylor Downing vividly brings to life a terrible year' Max Hastings, Sunday Times 'Taylor Downing is a wonderful historian and a wonderful history communicator.' Dan Snow, History Hit Eighty years ago, Britain stood at the brink of defeat. In 1942, a string of military disasters engulfed Britain in rapid succession : the collapse in Malaya; the biggest surrender in British history at Singapore; the passing of three large German warships through the Straits of Dover in broad daylight; the longest ever retreat through Burma to the gates of India; serious losses to Rommel's forces in North Africa; the siege of Malta and the surrender at Tobruk. All of this occurred against the backdrop of catastrophic sinkings in the Atlantic and the Arctic convoys. People began to claim that Churchill was not up to the job and his leadership was failing badly. Public morale reached a new low. 1942 Britain At the Brink explores the story of frustration and despair in that year prompting the Prime Minister to demand of his army chief 'Have you not got a single general who can win battles?' Using new archival material, historian Taylor Downing shows just how unpopular Churchill became in 1942 with two votes attacking his leadership in the Commons and the emergence of a serious political rival. Most people think that Britain's worst moment of the war was in 1940 when the nation stood up against the threat of German invasion. In 1942 Britain at the Brink, Taylor Downing describes in nail-biting detail what was really Britain's darkest hour .

In 1942 there was a domestic crisis in Britain. Public morale collapsed with a widespread feeling that Winston Churchill was no longer the right man to lead the nation. In the course of the crisis, motions of No-Confidence were debated in Parliament. A credible rival for Prime Minister emerged. This panic followed a series of major military fiascos. If its war effort folded, Britain would have had to negotiate a truce with Hitler. Had Britain been forced out of the war by this in 1942, it would have been almost impossible for the US to fight back in Europe. The survival of fascism, the outcome of the titanic battles on the Eastern Front and the ultimate result of the war could all have been very different.1942 tells the story of this precarious moment when the British people nearly lost it.

The 1945-1952 British Government's Opposition to Zionism and the Emergent State of Israel tells the story of a longstanding campaign conducted by senior members of a British government against Zionism, a fledgling nationalist movement, immediately after World War II. The book argues that although the British Labour Party had once been firm supporters of Zionism and the creation of a Jewish homeland, once in office, and particularly under the influence of the anti-Zionist Foreign Office, their position changed. The two senior Cabinet ministers, Prime Minister Clement Atlee and Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, had very little knowledge about or interest in Zionism at the time that they took office. And so various internal and external bodies were able to persuade them to adopt their own firmly held position when they had no position of their own. Despite the horrors of the Holocaust and displacement of large numbers of Jews, ultimately the British Government were not willing to risk alienating Middle East Arabs in support of a Jewish homeland. The book examines the motivations and roles of the two men and their fascinating relationship with the Zionist movement of the mid-twentieth century, culminating in the triumphant establishment of the state of Israel against all odds.
