Using hundreds of extracts from his speeches and writings, and illustrated with rarely seen photos, this engrossing biography brings Churchill the man into focus.
From his childhood, military service in India and the Sudan, and work as war correspondent, to his place in politics, leadership of Britain during World War II, and role in the Cold War struggle, Churchill provides an interesting and informative account of one of the most towering figures of the twentieth century. It covers his professional and personal life, including his marriage to Clementine Hozier, their children, and his struggle with “Black Dog” depressions. Honest and accurate, the book explores Churchill’s mistakes and misjudgments as well as his successes.
