 Eliot A. Cohen on Winston Churchill on National Review Online
General Sir Hastings Ismay, the secretary to the Chiefs of Staff, served as the indispensable link between the irascible prime minister and his harried chieftains.
As Ismay later described his role: "I felt that my job was to interpret, repeat to interpret, the prime minister to the Chiefs of Staff, and the Chiefs of Staff to the prime minister." This task he performed superbly.
Indeed, Ismay recalled in 1964 that in advance of the second Quebec summit the Chiefs of Staff were on the verge of a collective resignation.

The Cabinet Secretary, clearly exasperated, said something suggesting that he expected Sqn Ldr Ramunny, as the Air Force representative on the Committee, to be “at least semi-literate, among the Air Force illiterates”.
Lord Ismay [General the Lord Hastings Ismay, Mountbatten’s India-born and Sandhurst-trained Chief of Staff, previously Churchill’s Chief of Staff, and later first Secretary-General of NATO] had also been at the meeting and overheard the Cabinet Secretary berating Ramunny.
Ismay called Ramunny to his office and, in an impressive display of memory and retention of detail, dictated from memory virtually complete minutes to Sqn Ldr Ramunny.

The Japanese officials and people were not willing to take such a risk.
According to British Major General Sir Hastings Ismay in his memoirs, "…[I]f they [Japanese] were given to think that a rigid interpretation would be placed on the term 'unconditional surrender,' and that their Emperor would be treated as a war criminal, every man, woman, and child would fight until doomsday.
If on the other hand, the terms of surrender were phrased in such a way as to appear to preserve the right of their Emperor to order them to lay down their arms, they would have done so without a moment's hesitation" (Alperovitz 370).
