The best decision of WW2

LAURENCE REES: And the single best decision?

ANTONY BEEVOR: The single best decision of the war must have been Churchill’s refusal to seek terms or allow the ‘slippery slope’ (as he called it ) of negotiations with Hitler through Mussolini in the September of 1940, because once negotiation had started, even if it was broken off, British morale and British willpower would have been fatally undermined I think.
