Operation Pike

The book uncovers the extensive British military strategies aimed at the Soviet Union during the early years of World War II, driven by the belief that the Soviets were complicit in Hitler's ambitions. Churchill advocated for aggressive action against the Soviets, potentially igniting an Anglo-Soviet conflict while fighting Germany. Drawing on previously unpublished documents, the author contests the notion that the Allies relied on Soviet support, suggesting that an offensive against the USSR could have occurred if the Nazis had not invaded France in 1940.
