He was the wartime leader who played a major role in saving Britain and the free world. While Hitler threatened the existence of western civilization, Winston Churchill stood firm, and with his actions and inspiring words he rallied people to first oppose and then defeat the evil of Nazism.
He was a hero to many, an enemy to some, a complex, contradictory, and endlessly fascinating man who was born during the height of the Victorian era and the British Empire, and he left center stage in the nuclear age. Churchill was an extraordinary man who shaped extraordinary times.
This superb publication is an unmissable guide to the life and career of Winston Churchill. It provides a detailed, fully-illustrated study that considers his successes and setbacks, his achievements and controversies, and the remarkable times in which he lived.
