Way too many footnotes, very irritating. Author was 75 years old when he wrote this book, and it shows. He meanders a lot. His main premise is that the crucial point in WW2 was these 5 days, when the UK supposedly considered entering into talks with Hitler. Even his writing doesn't convince me that it was a crucial decision.
