"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Roberts gained exclusive access to extensive new material: transcripts of War Cabinet meetings, diaries, letters and unpublished memoirs from Churchill's contemporaries.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.

The same Churchhill that starved two million people in Bangladesh, known as Bengal famine. During the time he was asked about his decision, he said "they shouldn't have bread like animals". Watch this below documentary on this evil scumbag:

Hitler was responsible for the death of 6 million Jews. Churchill was responsible for the death of 3 million Bengalis. So I guess you can say that he was half as bad as Hitler. farking scum...

Without General Eisenhower this guy would be a nobody. The British sure love to ignore how much America saved Europe.

As far as I understood, the previous chancellor was ready to cave. Churchill put new fight into the English.

When you purchase the Kindle version on Amazon, you have the opportunity to pick up the audible version of the book for only $12.99. normal price $24.99. So you can get both the ebook and the audible version for a great price. Might make a nice Father's Day present as well for the father who enjoys history in general or World War II in particular.

"Chancellor"? What in the world are you talking about?

Revisionist historians sometimes belittle the greatest men of all time in an attempt to elevate themselves. That is clearly true with the historians of Slickdeals.

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.

An alternative read, which is not currently on sale but which I got free from the library, might be Churchill's Shadow by Geoffrey Wheatcroft. Wheatcroft debunks some of the lionizations in this volume, but in my opinion he doesn't quite go far enough.
