Winston Churchill has rightly been voted the greatest Briton. His nine decades spanned from the era of cavalry charges to the nuclear age, & he was active in both. He had a keen historical perspective & analytical mind, & in the Second World War he was quick to oppose Hitler & see the importance of US involvement, & hence played a seminal part in ensuring the survival of not only Britain but arguably Western democracy itself. That is not to say he was without fault
- the disastrous Gallipoli campaign, the creation of Iraq in 1921, his blind spot over India
- all these contributed to a reputation for unreliability that dogged much of his public life. But his seven decades in the public spotlight, & in politics show that Winston Churchill deserves the stature that posterity has given him. Few characters in history have written as much as Churchill, & his writings & the photographic record happily provide the opportunity to put together a unique illustrated portrait of this remarkable man, featuring revealing facsimiles of his personal letters, documents & speeches which draw attention to the unforgettable power of his oratory, which added a heroic dimension to a leader who was undoubtedly a true statesman.

Winston Churchill attracted far more criticism alive than he has since his death. He was, according to Evelyn Waugh, 'always in the wrong, surrounded by crooks, a terrible father, a radio personality'. Whatever one's view of 'the greatest Briton', & despite the best efforts of an army of writers who have penned portraits of him, Winston Churchill remains splendidly unreduced. In this new biography Ashley Jackson describes the contours of Winston Churchill's remarkable life & political career, & gives a sense of the man behind the dark eyes & bulldog features. From Cabinet outcast to the greatest war leader ever, this is the eternally fascinating story of Winston Churchill's appointment with destiny. The size of this book is 19.6cm in height & 13cm wide with 424 pages ...

New York Times bestselling biographer Barbara Leaming has written a riveting political dramaof the last ten years of Winston Churchill's public life. In Churchill Defiant, Leaming tells the tumultuous behind-the-scenes story of Churchill's refusal to retire after his 1945 electoral defeat, & the bare-knuckled political & personal battles that ensued. Her ground-breaking biography Jack Kennedy: The Education of a Statesman, was the first to detail Churchill's extraordinary influence on Kennedy's thinking. Now in Churchill Defiant, Leaming gives us a vivid & compelling narrative that sheds fresh light on both the human dimension of Winston Churchill & on the struggles & achievements of his final years. At last, in Leaming's eloquent account, we understand the tangled web of personal relationships & rivalries, the intricate interplay of past & present, the looming sense of history that makes the story of these years as fascinating as anything in the extraordinary century-long saga of Winston Churchill's life. ...

When Winston Spencer Churchill was born in 1874, no one could have predicted the path that lay ahead. But, as it turned out, from Winston's undistinguished academic career to his front-line experiences as a soldier & journalist whether in India, Sudan or Cuba, & during the Boer War or in the trenches of World War I; through his unparalleled political career with all its ups & downs; to his 'finest hour' leading Britain during World War II, he was never to be far from the world's attention.

Together with his unique selection of images, acclaimed historian Max Arthur's evocative & insightful narrative text gets to the core of Winston's character, using his own words & those of some of those closest to him, to provide a comprehensive study of the man & his life. This is a stunning tribute to a remarkable man.

This paperback book has 272 pages & measures: 25.2 x 20.2 x 2.2cm
