The Lion and the Unicorn

On the evening of 13th October 1939, six weeks after war has been declared on Hitler’s Germany, Winston Churchill and Neville Chamberlain, opponents for years, meet together with their wives, Clementine and Anne, for a private dinner.

Prime Minister Chamberlain has seen all his efforts to negotiate peace with Hitler shattered. Churchill has been recalled to the cabinet after ten years, his dire warnings of the Nazi threat vindicated.

History tells us this was the only time the four ever met alone together socially. There is no official record as to what transpired during that unique evening…

“We are on the brink of the greatest tempest in history… and history often turns on one man’s decision.”
