Churchill: a Study in Greatness
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Hambledon & London
- Publish date: 01/01/2006
Description:
Winston Churchill's inspiring leadership in World War II once made him above criticism. In recent years, his record has come under attack from revisionists. In Churchill: A Study in Greatness one of Britain's most distinguished historians rebuts these charges and makes sense of this extraordinary man and his long controversial, colorful, contradictory and heroic career. Geoffrey Best brings out both his strengths and his weaknesses, looking past the many received versions of Churchill in a biography that balances the private and the public man and offers a clear insight into Churchill's greatness.
Expand description
While Churchill certainly made enemies in his long career, and was mistrusted by many, his unique gifts and power of vision were recognized by all who came in contact with him. Given to romantic gestures and commitments, and often coming up with unworkable, though brilliant, ideas, his record over the years before he became Prime Minister was nevertheless an outstanding one, while his warnings about Nazi aggression in the 1930s and his defiance of Hitler in 1940 give him a unique claim to having been both his country's and Europe's savior.
