Churchill's Bestiary by Piers Brendon
The cavalcade of beasts in this charming biography shed light on the life of Winston Churchill by reference to the animals that played such a significant part in it, whether by association or in his work by pen or tongue.
From beak to tail feather and from flipper to fin, this is a book that will long be known, read and savoured-- James W. Muller, Chairman of the Board of Academic Advisers of the International Churchill Society
Scholarly, original and beautifully written [...Brendon] casts fresh light on an important and underestimated side of Churchill's protean character [...] a delightful book. * John Campbell, Finest Hour *
