Winston Churchill: Politics, Strategy and Statecraft is a must-have book for anyone who wants to know more about the legendary British statesman and the tumultuous times through which he lived. The prizewinning historian Richard Toye has brought together renowned scholars who provide portraits of Churchill, examining the political backdrop behind his decision-making, the strategic dilemmas he faced, and the policy choices he made in the quest to maintain Britain's standing as a world power. Filled with valuable information and offering sober judgments, Toye's insightful volume deserves a wide readership and will richly repay those who want to know more about Churchill and British history in the era of the two world wars.

A superb guide to Churchill's long and controversial career. Richard Toye has assembled a first-class team of experts to dissect and explore Churchill's remarkable record as statesman, warrior, and politician in both peace and war. This authoritative and innovative book draws on Churchill's own monumental collection of personal papers to provide an accessible introduction to key aspects of one of the Twentieth Century's most complex and challenging figures. Individual chapters concisely survey their subject, offering shrewd judgements and balanced assessments that will appeal to everyone from students to seasoned Churchill scholars.
