Winston Churchill

In these pages, Winston Churchill appears as rarely before: not only the leader who sustained the United Kingdom in 1940, but the complete man, with his greatness and his contradictions. This installment covers his childhood, his ambition, his wars, his political rise, his mistakes, his unexpected return, and his decisive role in World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. This fourth volume also explores the controversies that surround him: imperialism, the hard decisions of total war, and the clash between myth and reality. The result is a compelling portrait of a giant of the 20th century, where glory and shadow coexist without simplification.
