Winston Churchill by Michael Paterson
Here, Churchill's prolific commentaries on himself are juxtaposed with the opinions of those who knew him. From his dramatic escape as a prisoner of war in South Africa, his political career, his dark days following the Dardanelles failure, and his resurgence as Britain's great wartime Prime Minister, this is a truly rounded portrait of Winston Churchill. A unique biography and a fascinating insight into one of the best-known public figures of recent history, this book draws on contemporary first-hand accounts so we can see Churchill through the eyes of those who knew him, those that met him, and those that opposed him - including Hitler and Goebbels.
