There are several aspects to this collection of essays that make them an important contribution to our understanding of Winston Churchill’s wartime leadership and how it was viewed in distant parts of the British empire.

The collection of Weekly Notes is interesting because it covers world events in a time of world war. Dusty Green shows remarkable perceptiveness in his commentary on various developments. He offers sober minded analysis of the Soviet Union’s role in the war effort, a stark appraisal of Nazi Germany’s moves and strategy, and an informed admiration of Winston Churchill’s leadership.
