The Hope Not Plot: A Novel of Churchill's Final Farewell

By David R Stokes

With these verified historical facts as a backdrop, best-selling author DAVID R. STOKES takes us through the "looking glass" and into a world of shadows, mystery, and intrigue. America and the world have not yet fully recovered from the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Yet, in a way that seems to connect back to that awful moment in November 1963, there are rumors of another conspiracy one involving a possible attack connected to Churchill's funeral when more than 100 world leaders are assembled in one confined place. President Johnson reaches out to a team of trusted operatives in the intelligence world all "off the record," of course. These men some whose names will eventually become infamous have a singular mission: to prevent a catastrophe that could change the course of human history. The American agents uncover a plot more far-reaching than they could have ever imagined. At the center of THE HOPE NOT PLOT is Winston Churchill himself. His accomplishments. His mistakes. His admirers. And his enemies.

THE HOPE NOT PLOT is fiction, yet it is saturated with historical details. You may wonder what is real and what is made up and be tempted to reach for your smart phone to check things out.
