What it concludes

Britain's leaders and government did not trust any peace treaty offered by Hitler, particularly given German demands regarding former colonies.
British leadership believed that Germany would eventually overextend or collapse just as in World War I, making continued resistance preferable to a peace agreement.
By maintaining open sea lanes and securing US support through coalition-building, Britain sought to outlast Germany until a mistake brought monumental allies into the conflict.
