ABSTRACT
This essay is focused on correcting the historical record of this crucial wartime relationship. Toye exposes many of the myths, lies, and half-truths that still plague accounts of the war as a consequence of historians’ mostly uncritical acceptance (until recently) of both Churchill's post-war histories and the publication of Alanbrooke's diaries. Toye's essay is certain to present a more judicious look at a relationship that survived the stress of global war for six gruelling years.
