3 authors picked Churchill as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Roberts, a prolific historian and biographer, provides Churchill's best one-volume life. The author’s mastery of the material and his access to previously unavailable sources make this portrayal both definitive and comprehensive.
Chapter after chapter, Roberts captures the many different dimensions of a life like no other. The book’s energetic prose mirrors its animated subject.
From Robert's list on Winston Churchill’s life and affection for the US.
Winston Churchill is famous for his leadership and dogmatic stance in Great Britain during the Second World War. He is one of my heroes, and I respect and admire his fortitude. He experienced many failures and steadfastly refused before finally achieving the most famous and successful period in his lifetime.
From Harold's list on men who never gave up until they succeeded.
When approaching Churchill, it is often very difficult to know quite where to start. That dilemma is solved by Roberts’ scholarly study. He is extremely balanced and nuanced in his approach to the country’s most famous prime minister and wartime leader. His depth of research is breath-taking and Roberts’ work will rightly remain a standard text for years to come.
