The Duel The Eighty-Day Struggle Between Churchill and Hitler by John Lukacs

The Duel The Eighty-Day Struggle Between Churchill and Hitler by John Lukacs describes the 80 days between Winston Churchill becoming PM and the German attack on the Soviet Union. Basically the book consists of a dual character study of the two combatants with reference to the political and military actions occurring on both sides. The book lays out in excellent detail some things which are usually passed over in other histories mainly Churchill's time as PM between the fall of France and the Battle of Britain.

Highly recommended!
