Publisher Comments:

"We are all worms. But I do believe I am a glow-worm." --Churchill

Winston Churchill's inspiring leadership in the Second World War 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, colourful, 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.

Synopsis:

This work aims to make sense of the extraordinary man - whom many people feel they know well. His career, personal life and his role in Britain's survival during World War II, including her help in the defeat of Hitler, are investigated.

Synopsis:

Includes bibliograpaphical references (p. [351]-359) and index.
