Product Description
Review
John F. Kennedy once said that Winston Churchill mobilised the English language and sent it into battle. This book tells how he did it. In fact it tells two stories - how Churchill led Britain through the Second World War, and then how with hindsight he chronicled his actions in six volumes between 1948 and 1954. Both these public faces of Churchill are well known but historian Reynolds delves beneath the surface to reveal facts about the great man that Churchill would have preferred others not to know. For instance he did not always get on too well with Franklin D. Roosevelt, and he made the gross misjudgment of believing that Stalin was a man to be trusted. He was less than enthusiastic about the D-Day enterprise despite what his memoirs said, and he considered going to war against Russia in 1945. Packed with anecdote and little-known fact, this is a book that reveals all sides of the greatest Briton. (Kirkus UK)
