The Churchill Memorandum

By: Sean Gabb

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Here is the alternate history premise of this novel: What if Hitler had died in a car crash in 1939? No World War Two. No superpower duopoly. No decline of Britain into debt and dependency.

Fast-forward to 1959:

• America has become a fascist madhouse, run by lunatics in black helicopters.
• Germany limps on under the rule of a corrupt, ageing Göring.
• Soviet Russia is still Soviet Russia.
• And Britain? Free, rich, confident—almost as mighty an empire as in Victoria’s day.

Into this world steps Anthony Markham: half-Indian, secretly gay, ferociously patriotic. Tasked with writing the biography of a dead and now largely forgotten Winston Churchill, he returns from America carrying papers that may—or may not—contain the one secret capable of destroying England and everything it has rebuilt.

Who is trying to kill him? Who really is Major Stanhope? What terrible truth links Harold Macmillan and Michael Foot? Why is Ayn Rand in prison while Nathaniel Branden languishes in a South London bedsit? And what is hidden inside The Churchill Memorandum?

All will be revealed—but only after Markham is chased through an England unbombed, uncentralised, still free, and still mysterious.

First published in 2011, this book was so unfashionable it got its author purged from the Conservative Party and blacklisted by mainstream publishers. Was it worth the fuss? Read it and decide.
