??Unarguably the best single-volume biography of Churchill . . . A brilliant feat of storytelling, monumental in scope, yet put together with tenderness for a man who had always believed that he would be Britain??s savior.? ??Wall Street Journal
In this landmark biography of Winston Churchill based on extensive new material, the true genius of the man, statesman and leader can finally be fully seen and understood??by the bestselling, award-winning author of Napoleon and The Last King of America. When we seek an example of great leaders with unalloyed courage, the person who comes to mind is Winston Churchill: the iconic, visionary war leader immune from the consensus of the day, who stood firmly for his beliefs when everyone doubted him. But how did young Winston become Churchill? What gave him the strength to take on the superior force of Nazi Germany when bombs rained on London and so many others had caved? In Churchill, Andrew Roberts gives readers the full and definitive Winston Churchill, from birth to lasting legacy, as personally revealing as it is compulsively readable. Roberts gained exclusive access to extensive new material: transcripts of War Cabinet meetings, diaries, letters and unpublished memoirs from Churchill's contemporaries. The Royal Family permitted Roberts??in a first for a Churchill biographer??to read the detailed notes taken by King George VI in his diary after his weekly meetings with Churchill during World War II. This treasure trove of access allows Roberts to understand the man in revelatory new ways, and to identify the hidden forces fueling Churchill's legendary drive. We think of Churchill as a hero who saved civilization from the evils of Nazism and warned of the grave crimes of Soviet communism, but Roberts's masterwork reveals that he has as much to teach us about the challenges leaders face today??and the fundamental values of courage, tenacity, … (mer) |

Disons-le d’emblée : Andrew Roberts a réussi un tour de force. [...] Note du traducteur
(Antoine Capet)
Andrew Roberts a retenu à juste titre et pour notre plus grand plaisir un vaste échantillon des bons mots, boutades et autres à-peu-près de Churchill, ainsi que de ses multiples allusions historiques, bibliques et littéraires. [...] Introduction
Le jeudi 20 décembre 1945, le rédacteur en chef du Sunday Dispatch, Charles Eade, déjeunait avec Winston Churchill et sa femme Clementine dans leur nouvelle maison de Londres près de Hyde Park. Eade préparait l’édition des discours de guerre du Premier ministre et ils devaient discuter du dernier tome en date.
