Description: Churchill was an extraordinary figure. There has never been anyone quite like him, and inevitably legends have accumulated. How can he be treated both realistically and fairly after so much has been written about his controversial career by himself and others?This is a major new assessment of Churchill and his role in twentieth-century history. Each of the authors is an authority on at least one aspect of his life, and the result is a fascinating interplay of ideas about his policies and motives. It is also a lively and readable portrait of an astonishing personality, who despite occasional mistakes and misjudgements remained at the centre of the political world for over half a century.Contributors include: Philip Ziegler, Roy Jenkins, Donald Cameron Watt, Henry Pelling, Michael Carver, John Grigg, Michael Howard, and Max Beloff.
Synopsis: Churchill was an extraordinary figure. There has never been anyone quite like him, and inevitably legends have accumulated. How can he be treated both realistically and fairly after so much has been written about his controversial career by himself and others? This is a fresh look at Churchill and his role in twentieth-century history. Each of the authors in this book is an authority on at least one aspect of Churchill's life. The result is a fascinating interplay of ideas about his policies and motives. Some of it is critical and unflattering. Even the greatest of statesmen can make mistakes and misjudgements, and Churchill was at the centre of the political scene for more that half a century. Yet he emerges with both his integrity and his greatness intact. His achievement seems as remarkable as ever. The picture that is drawn by this lively and readable study is of an astonishing personality with some flaws but also with immense strengths. The book provides a fuller understanding of how Churchill came to be, in A.J.P. Taylor's words, 'the saviour of his nation'.
