This consisted of both short and long term objectives which drove his project through the months of May to October. In this period Churchill had to act with extreme agility as the priorities changed from the Battle of France to the Battle of Britain. He was also faced with excruciatingly difficult decisions, like to pull out the British Expeditionary Force through Dunkirk. Read more about how Churchill turned this project from hell around.
