Description

Marvelously readable analysis of Churchill’s Word War II achievements; first as Prime Minister and then as author of the war’s definitive history. Illuminates especially Churchill’s second “Wilderness Years” period of 1945-1951, when the now-well-past-70-year-old former-PM wrote himself back into world events. This is a very good copy of the English edition, in an unclipped dust jacket.
