Churchill
- Paul Johnson's study of Winston Churchill
An acclaimed historian presents a revelatory look at the greatest statesman of the twentieth century

For eminent historian Paul Johnson, Winston Churchill remains an enigma in need of unraveling. Soldier, parliamentarian, Prime Minister, orator, painter, writer, husband, and leaderâ€”all of these facets combine to make Churchill one of the most complex and fascinating personalities in history.

In Churchill, Johnson applies a wide lens and an unconventional approach to illuminate the various phases of Churchillâ€™s career. From his adventures as a young cavalry officer in the service of the Empire to his role as an elder statesman prophesying the advent of the Cold War, Johnson shows how Churchillâ€™s immense adaptability combined with his natural pugnacity to make him a formidable leader for the better part of a century. Johnsonâ€™s narration of Churchillâ€™s many triumphs and setbacks, rich with anecdote and quotation, illustrates the manâ€™s humor, resilience, courage, and eccentricity as no other biography before.

Winston Churchillâ€™s hold on contemporary readers has never slackened, and Paul Johnsonâ€™s lively, concise biography will appeal to historians and general nonfiction readers alike.
