The second in a four-part series, in which historian Martin Gilbert, who has spent 25 years researching and writing the life of Churchill, presents the first complete television biography of Britain's wartime leader.

In May 1940 when he became Prime Minister, Churchill told the British people that he could only offer them "Blood, toil, tears and sweat". This second film describes how and why Churchill became the symbol of Britain's struggle for survival through the crises of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz until the first great victory at Alamein. Churchill's first stormy meeting with Stalin in the Kremlin is described by three of those present including Stalin's interpreter Valentin Berezkhov. Churchill's daughter Lady Soames and his staff recall the pressures on him and provide insight into the close, supportive but sometimes argumentative role played by his wife Clementine.
