1937. George Orwell returns to Great Britain from war-torn Spain, where he has suffered a serious throat wound, and begins to write some of his finest writing. At the same time, in another corner of the country, Winston Churchill, who had been wounded in action more than once in his life, was fighting his own battle: against the policy of appeasement of the aggressor. These two do not realise what they really have in common.

These two different posts — the Prime Minister, who guided Great Britain through the misery of the Second World War, and the writer, author of the cult dystopia «1984». They have never met and lived very different lives, but they have more in common than it seems. Two of them were adventurous, courageous and full of ideas that are ahead of their time, — and two of them have become as relevant as ever in our days.

Journalist Thomas Rix traced the phenomenon of Churchill and Orwell's greatness, how they came to recognition, what mistakes they were able to make and what they warned the future generation about. As well as the way in which, in spite of the political and worldview discord, they unapologetically wanted one and the same. The author presents everything in the book so clearly and masterfully that you feel an invisible link between the two parts of these legendary posts.
