Churchill by Sebastian Haffner
When Churchill died, one might have thought that it was not a man who was being borne to his grave, but British history itself - a resplendent, fortunate history whose last illustrious chapter Churchill himself had written almost a quarter of a century before.
'One of the most brilliant things of any length written about Churchill' 'A short but illuminating life of Winston Churchill.' '[Haffner was] one of the great historians and journalists of the last century.' -- Andrew Roberts 'A fast-moving and perceptive life of Winston Churchill.' 'Haffner writes with wonderful candour.' 'Fascinating psychological study of Britain's greatest war leader... a pleasure to put on your bookshelf.'
Sebastian Haffner was 'one of the outstanding figures in European journalism' (Guardian, 1999). He emigrated to London from Berlin in the 1930s and became a vocal critic of the Nazi regime, writing influential articles in the Observer. After the war, he became Germany's pre-eminent political commentator. His many books include Germany: Jekyll and Hyde and The Meaning of Hitler and most recently Defying Hitler: A Memoir (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2002).
