The
best so far

JUST finished Churchill’s
War, vol.ii, having delayed starting it until I reread vol I. I thought it a tour de force, probably the best of your books so far (at least of the six or seven I have read). It is particularly to be admired if, as I suspect, the powers that be are still obstructing your access to sources – or is that only in Germany?

It should be as indispensable a source for historians of the period as Hitler’s
War and I will be amused to see how many own to using it as such in the future. My appetite is whetted for vol
III and I would be grateful if you could put my name down on any waiting list.

Do you have a likely publication schedule as yet? In the meantime, sincere congratulations and thanks for an enjoyable (and educational) experience,

Mike

I AM working on
Churchill’s War, vol.iii right now, and my enemies — who
are legion (viel Ehr’) — will be enraged to know that I
did all the overseas research, e.g. in the
Canadian and Australian archives, years ago: so the
belated visa bans imposed by those countries will have no
effect whatever (as they have already seen from vol. ii).
