Few statesmen have received so many honours as he did over the
course of his career. Although several have received the Nobel
Peace Prize, none save Churchill have received the Nobel Prize for
Literature. His was a career that had few parallels in British
history for richness, range, length and achievement. The biography
provides an interesting and informative account of Churchill's life
- from his childhood, military service in India and the Sudan and
his role as war correspondent during the Boer war to his rise in
the world of politics, his leadership of Britain in World War II
and his role in the post-war struggle of the Cold War years.
Coverage of Churchill's personal life is woven into the narrative,
including his marriage to Clementine Hozier, their children and
Churchill's struggle with his 'Black Dog' depressions. The book
gives an honest and accurate presentation of Churchill, including
his mistakes and misjudgements as well as his successes. Like so
many personalities of high achievement, the rules of ordinary,
everyday life - politeness, diplomacy, toleration - did not always
apply to Winston Churchill. Where he was eccentric or fanciful,
pugnacious, obstinate, demanding and self-centred, this was the
character and dynamism of a great man. Using many hundreds of
extracts from his speeches and writings throughout his life, the
book brings Churchill the man into focus.
