A film series based on Sir Winston Churchill's Memoirs of World War II.

Spring, 1945. The lights are on again in London, but Japan is still unconquered and the political situation at home is unclear. Churchill, secure in the belief that he has the backing of the people, tenders his resignation to the King, and a General Election is declared. Following a gruelling election campaign, Churchill goes to Berlin after a brief sketching holiday in France. He meets President Truman for the first time; and during talks with him and Stalin, news is brought of the dropping of the first atomic bomb-the bomb that ends the war in the Far East. Churchill returns to England to find he has been overwhelmingly defeated at the polls - rejected by the people whom he had led to victory.
