â€œThe best Churchill biography [for] this generation . . . Even readers who know the basic story will find much that is new.â€â€”Newsweek

In this powerful biography, the middle volume of William Manchesterâ€™s critically acclaimed trilogy, Winston Churchill wages his defining campaign: not against Hitlerâ€™s war machine but against his own reluctant countrymen. Manchester contends that even more than his leadership in combat, Churchillâ€™s finest hour was the uphill battle against appeasement. As Parliament received with jeers and scorn his warnings against the growing Nazi threat, Churchill stood aloneâ€”only to be vindicated by history as a beacon of hope amid the gathering storm.

Praise for The Last Lion: Alone
Â
â€œManchester has such control over a huge and moving narrative, such illumination of character . . . that he can claim the considerable achievement of having assembled enough powerful evidence to support Isaiah Berlinâ€™s judgment of Churchill as â€˜the largest human being of our time.â€™â€â€”The New Yorker
Â
â€œMemorable.â€â€”San Francisco Chronicle
Â
â€œStirring . . . As Manchester points out several times, itâ€™s as if the age, having produced a Hitler, then summoned Churchill as the only figure equal to the task of vanquishing him. The years Alone are the pivotal years of Churchillâ€™s career.â€â€”The Boston Sunday Globe
Â Â
â€œA triumph . . . equal in stature to the first volume of the series.â€â€”Newsday
Â
â€œVivid . . . history in the grand manner.â€â€”The Washington Post
Â
â€œCompelling reading.â€â€”The Times (London)
