Churchill: Winning the War, Losing the Peace

A look at Winston Churchill's battle to be elected Prime Minister just weeks after VE Day. The war leader was confident of victory, but ended up being humiliated at the polls with the Conservative party almost annihilated. Surprising revelations from first-hand witnesses, including Sir Max Hastings, Juliet Gardiner, Anthony Beevor and Dave Douglas, help to uncover whether Churchill's rejection was a mark of ingratitude, or the most mature decision ever made by a democracy

Churchill: Winning the War, Losing the Peace airs on U&Yesterday at 10:00 AM, Wednesday 2 July. (Subtitles.)
