'The best one-volume study of Churchill yet available.' David
Cannadine, "Observer"
'Magisterial.' Vernon Bogdanor, "New Statesman"
'A tour de force... A masterly chronicle of Churchill as a
domestic figure rather than as the bulldog wartime leader, and one
of the most subtle portraits of him as a politician. Addison
revises the view of Churchill as uninterested and out of his depth
in domestic affairs, painting instead a nuanced picture of a canny
parliamentarian. Churchill changed parties twice but managed to
accomplish the change, writes Addison, 'with exceptional
dexterity', making it appear as if he were maintaining his
principles while the parties changed theirs... Addison's most
interesting assertion is that the rise of Hitler saved Churchill
from drifting into right-wing irrelevance. Most impressively,
Addison doesn't settle for easy classifications, admitting that
'Churchill... is a man of whom almost everything that can be said
is true in part.'' "Kirkus Review"
