The Second World War

Faults of Winston Churchill's policy in peacetime have been well documented. His faults as a human being were also identified. He was, by many accounts, irritating, indefatigable, a control freak. You'll get a whiff of all this, as you read this, his own loss of their record of the second world war. But you also get a chance to sit on the man's shoulder as he anaylyses enemies, directs the war, struggle with staff and fights to hold talks with Roosevelt and Stalin.

Okay, this is not a comprehensive account of every aspect of the Second World War, it was part biography and does not contain the history of Winston, but his ability and talent of the writer wonder. You will see the war through Winston's eyes, and as we were lucky that he found the time and trouble to write all this so completely. His unique perspective explains in many cases why it happened the way they did.
