NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER One of The Wall Street Journal's Ten Best
Books of 2018 One of The Economist's Best Books of 2018 One of The
New York Times's Notable Books of 2018 "Unarguably the best
single-volume biography of Churchill . . . A brilliant feat of
storytelling, monumental in scope, yet put together with tenderness
for a man who had always believed that he would be Britain's
savior." -Wall Street Journal In this landmark biography of Winston
Churchill based on extensive new material, the true genius of the
man, statesman and leader can finally be fully seen and
understood--by the bestselling, award-winning author of Napoleon
and The Last King of America. When we seek an example of great
leaders with unalloyed courage, the person who comes to mind is
Winston Churchill: the iconic, visionary war leader immune from the
consensus of the day, who stood firmly for his beliefs when
everyone doubted him. But how did young Winston become Churchill?
What gave him the strength to take on the superior force of Nazi
Germany when bombs rained on London and so many others had caved?
In Churchill, Andrew Roberts gives readers the full and definitive
Winston Churchill, from birth to lasting legacy, as personally
revealing as it is compulsively readable. Roberts gained exclusive
access to extensive new material: transcripts of War Cabinet
meetings, diaries, letters and unpublished memoirs from Churchill's
contemporaries. The Royal Family permitted Roberts--in a first for
a Churchill biographer--to read the detailed notes taken by King
George VI in his diary after his weekly meetings with Churchill
during World War II. This treasure trove of access allows Roberts
to understand the man in revelatory new ways, and to identify the
hidden forces fueling Churchill's legendary drive. We think of
Churchill as a hero who saved civilization from the evils of Nazism
and warned of the grave crimes of Soviet communism, but Roberts's
masterwork reveals that he has as much to teach us about the
challenges leaders face today--and the fundamental values of
courage, tenacity, leadership and moral conviction.
