For eminent historian Paul Johnson, Winston Churchill remains an enigma in need of unraveling. Soldier, parliamentarian, Prime Minister, orator, painter, writer, husband, and leaderaall of these facets combine to make Churchill one of the most complex and fascinating personalities in history.
In Churchill, Johnson applies a wide lens and an unconventional approach to illuminate the various phases of Churchillas career. From his adventures as a young cavalry officer in the service of the Empire to his role as an elder statesman prophesying the advent of the Cold War, Johnson shows how Churchillas immense adaptability combined with his natural pugnacity to make him a formidable leader for the better part of a century. Johnsonas narration of Churchillas many triumphs and setbacks, rich with anecdote and quotation, illustrates the manas humor, resilience, courage, and eccentricity as no other biography before.
Winston Churchillas hold on contemporary readers has never slackened, and Paul Johnsonas lively, concise biography will appeal to historians and general nonfiction readers alike.

A complicated, towering figure, Churchill comes to vivid life in this vast and accomplished biography.
