Churchill: A Biography av Roy Jenkins

There are other excellent Churchill biographies but none with the same insight into the British political process, and Churchill was above all a politician.

Churchill: A Biography av Roy Jenkins

This book took me a long ass time to read, maybe 2 years. Its mostly a description of all the parliamentary work he did, in order, in detail. Somehow this was stupendously interesting to read. I don't really understand how, but it was. Would recommend.

Churchill: A Biography av Roy Jenkins

Easily my favourite Churchill biography - I've read at least six over the years. There's not too much on his personal life, but you get a real sense of the complexity and old imperialist character of the man. Well written too.
