The Man Who Would Never Surrender

Set in May 1940, Three Days in May goes behind the doors of Number Ten Downing Street during a dark time for the future of Britain. The German blitzkrieg across Western Europe has been halted only by the narrow waters of the English Channel. The Country’s new Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, is faced with a pivotal decision - to negotiate terms with the seemingly unstoppable Nazis or see Britain carry the fight against fascism alone.
