Description

Stimulating, erudite and above all entertaining...For any reader tired of the seemlingly endless round of Churchill-worship Robert Harris A radical biography for a new generation In A.J.P. Taylor s words, Churchill was the saviour of his country when he became prime minister in 1940. Yet he was also a deeply flawed character. Giving due credit to Churchill s achievements but making no secret of his failures, Geoffrey Wheatcroft takes a radically different approach to other biographies. Going far beyond a reappraisal of a life and a career, he reveals the complex shadow Churchill has cast over post-war British history and contemporary politics. Telling the story of Churchill s extraordinary life and the equally fascinating one of his legacy, Churchill s Shadow focuses on how we as a nation have been living in the grip of his self-written myth ever since his death. This is the indispensable biography of Churchill for the post-Brexit 2020s David Kynaston, author of On the Cusp: Days of 62 Wheatcroft is a skilled prosecutor with a rapier pen...this could be the best single-volume indictment of Churchill yet written New York Times A clear-eyed, incisive and superbly balanced account of Churchill, the man and the myth Robert Gildea, author of Empires of the Mind
