Scope and content

Thanks SZ for his letter which was waiting for Birkenhead on his return from the Eichmann trial. Encloses some reviews of Snow's book and extracts from his own book which deals with Cherwell and Snow's dispute over strategic bombing [SZ/CSA/100/3/7-8]. Birkenhead wants to strengthen his support for Cherwell in the face of "the very powerful onslaught." It has even been claimed that Cherwell's "lamentable advice" to the Prime Minister caused unnecessary prolongation of the war.
