Churchill

More about the book

Using hundreds of extracts from his speeches and writings, this engrossing biography brings Churchill the man into focus. Honest and accurate--even about his misjudgments--it encompasses everything from his childhood, military service, and work as war correspondent, to his political activity, leadership during World War II, and role in the Cold War. His personal life is covered, too, including his marriage, children, and struggle with "Black Dog" depressions.
