What makes this biography about Churchill so interesting is that it focuses on the man (as opposed to the WWII Prime Minister of England) in all his humanity … his quirks and imperfections, his work, his play, his family, friends and enemies … for a short period of the war. And the story is told with seemingly no agenda. No lesson or theme. Other than perhaps understanding of a time and a man. I felt I was there. A fly on the wall. While war and loss and love and betrayal raged around me. I laughed. I cried. I was in awe. I was outraged. I highly recommend. Disclaimer: I’m a longtime big fan of Churchill, as a leader, writer, orator and (now) man.
