"Unarguably the best single-volume biography of Churchill . . . A brilliant feat of storytelling, monumental in scope, yet put together with tenderness for a man who had always believed that he would be Britain's savior." —Wall Street Journal
In this landmark biography of Winston Churchill based on extensive new material, the true genius of the man, statesman and leader can finally be fully seen and understood--by the bestselling, award-winning author of Napoleon and The Last King of America.
When we seek an example of great leaders with unalloyed courage, the person who comes to mind is Winston Churchill: the iconic, visionary war leader immune from the consensus of the day, who stood firmly for his beliefs when everyone doubted him. But how did young Winston become Churchill? What gave him the strength to take on the superior force of Nazi Germany when bombs rained on London and so many others had caved? In Churchill, Andrew Roberts gives readers the full and definitive Winston Churchill, from birth to lasting legacy, as personally revealing as it is compulsively readable.
Roberts gained exclusive access to extensive new material: transcripts of War Cabinet meetings, diaries, letters and unpublished memoirs from Churchill's contemporaries. The Royal Family permitted Roberts--in a first for a Churchill biographer--to read the detailed notes taken by King George VI in his diary after his weekly meetings with Churchill during World War II. This treasure trove of access allows Roberts to understand the man in revelatory new ways, and to identify the hidden forces fueling Churchill's legendary drive.
We think of Churchill as a hero who saved civilization from the evils of Nazism and warned of the grave crimes of Soviet communism, but Roberts's masterwork reveals that he has as much to teach us about the challenges leaders face today--and the fundamental values of courage, tenacity, leadership and moral conviction.

Churchill is one of the greatest and most interesting people of modern history. Example:
Winston Churchill was a war correspondent for the London Morning Post during the Boer War in South Africa in 1899. Shortly before his 25th birthday, he was captured by the Boers on 15 November 1899, when the armored train he was travelling on was ambushed and derailed. He was imprisoned in a POW camp and escaped on the night of 12/13 December by climbing over a wall, riding a freight train, hiding in a coal mine and eventually boarding a train to Portuguese East Africa.
His betrayal of Poland is evident in his decision to withdraw the 100,000-strong Anders Army from Europe to Palestine, conveniently timed with the Warsaw Uprising thus adding his two cents to Holocaust. He also failed adequately to protect France, as the Nazis easily overtook the Maginot Line from the side of La Manche.
To make matters worse, he undermined any possibility of an agreement with Stalin, while surrendering Czechoslovakia's gold reserves held in the Royal Bank to Hitler. He turned a blind eye to the Nazis' flagrant violation of the Versailles Agreement, allowing them to rebuild their military might for six straight years using loans and funds from Swiss banks and the Rothschild family which they praised more than Tiger tanks..
This individual is primarily responsible for the loss of Britain's colonies and resources after World War II, as the idea of Soviet influence gained significant support worldwide. He callously caused a devastating famine in Bengal by monopolizing rice imports from India to UK, disregarding the immense suffering endured by the Bengali people. This didn't help him
to solve food security as UK eliminated food stamps much later than Soviets did...
Despite receiving three times more in land lease payments from the US than the Soviets, he failed to make a significant impact against the Nazis in Europe, as he hoped to manipulate the Nazis against the Soviets. It was only with the intervention of the United States that any meaningful progress was achieved. Such actions have led me to question his credibility as a hero, as true great leaders are never go for sale.
"British didn't stay long enough in Kenya." he replied.
People can complain about British Empire and Churchy but they set the world for the modern era. Brits were tremendous organizers and missionaries. Other empires could have been spectacularly awful compared to Brits.
