Items related to Churchill
This astute biography brilliantly captures, in one volume, the full range of Winston Churchill's astonishing career. perhaps the greatest political figure of modern times, Churchill's achievement extended well beyond his emblematic role in the Second World War. Piers Brendon brings great wit and dozens of pungent anecdotes to this penetrating account, illuminating the 'monstrous compound' of courage and egotism, rudeness and humour, brutality and compassion that was Winston Churchill. What emerges from these pages is one of the most fascinating and colourful figures of the twentieth century. To rescue Churchill from being buried under millions of words Piers Brendon has written a brief but brilliant profile of the colossus.

Review:
"A brilliant sketch." -"TLS""Piers Brendon has had the excellent idea of writing a short life of Churchill. His book - neither hagiography nor critique, just a portrait, warts, wit and all - is a refreshing antidote to the vast tomes on Churchill." -"Guardian""A marvellous introduction to the great man." -"Punch""I applaud the brevity and the freshness...brought to his subject. Churchill comes off the canvas alive and kicking, sometimes viciously." -Peter Lewis, "Daily Mail"
From the Publisher:
'Excellent This book - neither hagiography nor critique, just a portra it, warts, wit and all - is a refreshing antidote to the vast tomes on Churchill. ' Guardian
