Winston Churchill by Henry Pelling

Winston Spencer Churchill was an extraordinary combination of soldier and statesman. Of aristocratic birth, he had a long military career, as well as a chequered career in politics until he received the call to become Prime Minister in May 1940. This is his biography.
