Description
Roberts adds materially to Churchill with of documents unknown or not open to other researchers, including notes of wartime counsels kept by King George VI. Churchill, he writes, "was born into a caste that held immense political and economic power in the largest empire in world history, and that had not yet become plagued by insecurity and self-doubt." Sometimes his overconfidence led to disaster -- others, it helped his nation steel itself for war. Roberts turns up solid evidence that Churchill was not always the pro-American some biographers have claimed. Hi portrait comes warts and all, allowing, for instance, that the leader who decried Nazi air attacks on London would order the leveling of entire German cities. The most comprehensive single-volume biography of Churchill in print -- recommended for any student of the statesman and his times. --,Adapted from Kirkus Reviews.
