"Masterful . . . The collaboration completes the Churchill portrait
in a seamless manner, combining the detailed research, sharp
analysis and sparkling prose that readers of the first two volumes
have come to expect." - Associated Press Spanning the years 1940 to
1965, The Last Lion: Defender of the Realm, 1940-1965 begins
shortly after Winston Churchill became prime minister-when Great
Britain stood alone against the overwhelming might of Nazi Germany.
In brilliant prose and informed by decades of research, William
Manchester and Paul Reid recount how Churchill organized his
nation's military response and defence, convinced FDR to support
the cause, and personified the "never surrender" ethos that helped
win the war. We witness Churchill, driven from office, warning the
world of the coming Soviet menace. And after his triumphant return
to 10 Downing Street, we follow him as he pursues his final policy
goal: a summit with President Dwight Eisenhower and Soviet leaders.
In conclusion, we experience Churchill's last years, when he faces
the end of his life with the same courage he brought to every
battle he ever fought.
