Product Description
The period from 1943 to 1945 saw some of the most important events of World War II, and few were fully aware of the decisions that were to affect the outcome of this global conflict. Yet, a young wartime secretary, Olive Christopherson, spent this remarkable time working in Churchill's famous Cabinet War Rooms. She became one of a tiny inner circle of people party to the political secrets of the crucial final years of the conflict. Working for long hours in an underground bunker opposite St. James' Park, Olive wrote a series of letters to her fiancé filled with incredible details about the glamorous lifestyle and travel she enjoyed because of her job. Published for the first time, this illuminating and poignant correspondence offers a rare insight into the workings of the War Rooms and documents the rich experiences of a lady with exclusive access to the closed world of Churchill's inner circle.
Reader Reviews
Do not buy this book if your motivation is to obtain the inside dope on how Winston Churchill's office operated in World War II. This is essentially a set of letters between two young people in love, but separated by war. Given security censorship in place at the time almost nothing of general or lasting importance is imparted in these letters, albeit one of the pair was a civilian secretary in London's famous Cabinet War Rooms. Even at that, the secretary, Olive Christopher, worked for General Hollis not Mr. Churchill. I think the book's title and dust jacket constitute a mild case of misbranding by the publisher.
