In 1940, Winston Churchill promised "Victory at all costs." By 1945, he had delivered it—only to be cast out by the very people he saved. This documentary explores the final years of Churchill's wartime premiership, from the bloody stalemate at Monte Casino to the tense negotiations at Yalta and Potsdam. Discover how the shifting balance of power between the US and the Soviets left Britain sidelined, and why the British public traded their "Wartime Lion" for a welfare state.
