'It brings its subject vividly, unforgettably back to life' The Washington Post.
Winston Churchill was famed for his courageous leadership against Hitler in World War II, his sharp witticisms and his larger-than-life persona. But he also had one of the most extraordinary personal lives of any public figure in history.
Delving into his pre-war life, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Lewis Taylor invites the reader to discover Churchill as a boy, a student, a journalist and a soldier. Winston Churchill: An Informal Study of Greatness is a delightful and revealing study of a man who, as Taylor puts it, was both a genius and one of the most exasperating figures of history.
