Winston Churchill: An Informal Study of Greatness

'It brings its subject vividly, unforgettably back to life.' - The Washington Post

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill led one of the most astonishing lives that public service has ever witnessed.

Famed for his courageous leadership against Hitler in WW2, his witticisms and his larger-than-life persona, comparatively little is known of Churchill's equally extraordinary pre-war life.

Focusing on the early experiences that shaped his ambition, this fascinating biography from Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Robert Lewis Taylor, delves into the private life of Churchill as a student, a journalist and a soldier.

An Informal Study of Greatness is a delightful and revealing study of a man who, as Taylor puts it, was one of â€˜multiple geniusâ€™ and â€˜one of the most exasperating figures of history.â€™
