CHURCHILL

A LIFE

(MARTIN GILBERT)

Winston Churchill's life continues to fascinate everyone interested in the dramatic events of the 20th century.  His genius with words, his understanding of human nature, his world outlook, illuminates not only the times in which he lived, but our own times.

Martin Gilbert's knowledge and understanding of Churchill is unequalled.  In this single volume he brings together the fruits of his 25 years of research, in order to highlight Churchill's character, his struggles and setbacks, his achievements in both peace and war, his humour and humanity.

Choosing the most revealing insights from Churchill's public and private life, Gilbert presents the essence of the man, from his early life as a schoolboy and soldier to his years as a war leader and elder statesman.  The book provides a swiftly moving narrative of Churchill's fifty-five years of public life: a remarkable panorama of vivid, tempestuous and often controversial episodes.

In this book, as in no other, the true Churchill emerges.
