Review:
For history buffs, Winston Churchill is the gift that keeps on giving, and in Young Titan Michael Shelden has given us the gift of Churchill's fascinating formative years. It's all here-the boy wonder, adventurer, romantic, orator, and eloquent man in the arena. I didn't want it to end. --Tom Brokaw, author of "The Greatest Generation"
Passion was never merely a by-product of [Churchill s] political beliefs, though it certainly influenced them. As the book Young Titan reveals, passion was at the core of his being from the very beginning - The Express
Shelden s welcome account of the early years of Churchill s career - The Independent
An easy and entertaining read, with some wonderful characters and plenty of the bon mots we have grown to expect from Churchill - The Guardian
Shelden s decision to concentrate on such a brief period in Churchill s life gives more room to breathe to important friendships and events ... surprisingly revealing --The Sunday Telegraph
