'I would choose this account over and above the rest. It is a
fabulous book: full of perceptive insight that conveys all the
tragedy, triumph, humour and intense drama of Churchill's time as
wartime leader; and it is incredibly moving as a result' James
Holland, Literary Review In this vivid biography, #1 bestselling
historian Max Hastings tells the story of how Churchill led a
nation through its darkest hour. A moving, dramatic narrative of
crisis and fortitude, Hastings offers one of the finest biographies
of one of Britain's finest men. When Churchill took power as Prime
Minister in 1940, it was with the unprecedented support of the
nation. People rallied behind their new commander in extraordinary
fashion, but thereafter, as Hastings argues, there came a deep
divide. Churchill was a hero, a dogged worker dedicated to steering
the country through the war. He expected more from the British
people than they were perhaps able to deliver. Taking us on an
intimate, stirring journey through the war years, Hastings tells a
story of triumphs and tragedies. In Churchill, who was to become a
paragon of leadership in tough times, he finds both folly and
nobility. In the British nation as it faced its greatest challenge,
he takes us through moments of both weakness and tremendous
strength. 'One of the best books ever written about Churchill ...
He has drawn on copious original sources and consulted experts
familiar with them, enabling him to cast fresh light on familiar
episodes ... A magnificent performance' Sunday Times 'The book's
portrait of Churchill is scrupulously fair and often deeply moving
... In fact Hastings excels with all his character portraits,
especially with Roosevelt and Stalin. Hastings is truly a master of
strategy and high command' Antony Beevor, Mail on Sunday
