        <description>OverviewIrving examines Winston Churchill's financial dependencies and political relationships with Jewish organizations and individuals between 1936 and 1940. He argues that a group called the Focus—composed primarily of British industrialists, bankers, and politicians—financed Churchill during his decade out of office, and that this financial backing influenced his subsequent anti-German stance and wartime leadership.
