SUPPORTING COMMENTS

"I have found the PREM 3 series indispensable for my research and publication on the Middle East, and in my teaching about Anglo-American policy-making. I hope that many scholars and students can make use of this unique collection of World War II documents."
Professor Roger Adelson
Department of History, Arizona State University and author of London and the Invention of the Middle East (Yale University Press, 1995)

"PREM 3, papers from the Prime Minister's Office concerning Defence and Operational Subjects from 1940 to 1945, is simply an indispensable source for any study of the Allied war effort in World War II. The staggering range of subjects covered in great detail reflect the energy and breadth of vision which Winston Churchill brought to the direction of the war. Adam Matthew's collection is a must for any serious research library."
Dr Brian P Farrell
Department of History, National University of Singaporeand author of The Basis and Making of British Grand Strategy 1940-1943: Was There a Plan ?

"An invaluable set of primary sources for scholars working on the Second World War."
Professor William Roger Louis
Center for British Studies, University of Texas, Austin and St Anthony's College, Oxford

"The PREM 3 series is essential to understanding the evolution and conduct of British grand strategy during the Second World War, particularly in the context of inter-allied relations."
Correlli Barnett,
Author of The Collapse of British Power, The Audit of War and Engage the Enemy More Closely: The Royal Navy in the Second World War and Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge

"The records of the Prime Minister's Office, and in particular PREM 3 (1940-45)...can give a particular insight into the way Prime Ministers initiated or co-ordinated policy and handled Cabinet and government business. What is there depends a great deal on the 'style' of the Prime Minister in question."
Nicholas Cox
Director of Modern Records at the Public Record Office writing in The Contemporary History Handbook, (Manchester University Press 1996)

"Churchill's impact was nationwide through his speeches on the radio and in Parliament, which gave comfort and encouragement at critical periods. But in the narrow circle of those who comprised his administration, or who were the heads of Commonwealth or Allied governments, that impact was largely felt through several thousand personal minutes and telegrams; these represent an astonishing output"
S S Wilson
Writing in The Cabinet Office to 1945 (HMSO 1975)

"The PREM 3 papers are indeed a godsend for anyone at work on most aspects of the Second World War, quite apart from their specific value for Churchill himself. Few scholars, even those based in England, can spend the time they need actually in the PRO and your microfilms are the next best thing. What's more, they are available after closing time ! "
Dr Vincent Orange

Department of History, University of Canterbury, New Zealand

"The PREM 3 papers on Winston Churchill are vital documents. Scholars from many nations have been confronted with the prospect of beating a path to the Public Record Office to consult them. So the news of their publication by Adam Matthew is hugely welcome. Churchill, obviously enough, was a key figure of World War Two, and the directives that went out from him, like the information that reached him, concerned vital matters. It is of real benefit that what he wrote and received should be generally available."
Professor Trevor Wilson
Department of History, University of Adelaide
