"One might wonder whether anything fresh remains to be said about Winston Churchill, but Roy Jenkins uniquely combines the skills of a master biographer with the insights of a practical politician and draws a fresh portrait of the great Englishman with authority, elegance, and wit. This is far and away Churchill's best one-volume biography."--Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
"This is a splendid addition to Churchillian lore, a chronicle full of revealing personal anecdotes, delightful wartime vignettes, and fascinating new insights into the critical 1939-1945 years."--Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
"Wryly astute...shrewd."--The Washington Post
"Jenkins catches Churchill's studied self-inspection with the sure-shot sharpness of an expert portraitist."--Simon Schama, The New York Review of Books "Churchill stands forth with Shakespearean bravura as the necessary hero for the most testing moment of national (and world) crisis. A satisfying summation of an unsurpassed life."--The San Diego Union-Tribune "Lord Jenkins of Hillhead is an outstanding biographer...it has the narrative power, sweep and sparkle of the author in his prime."--The Times„Über diesen Titel“ kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
