'A reminder of just what Churchill did mean to those who lived through the terrible menace of a Hitler-dominated continent. Churchill's greatness is legend rather than myth, and Best gives us as engaging and literate a guide to the legend as one could hope for' Richard Overy, Sunday Telegraph

Winston Churchill's inspiring leadership in the Second World War once put him above criticism. In recent years his record has come under attack. This book makes sense of this extraordinary man and his controversial and heroic career. Best brings outChurchill's strengths and weaknesses, looking past the many received versions of Churchill in a biography that balances the private and the public man and offers a fresh insight into his character.
