Roy Jenkins concludes his epic biography by deciding Churchill trumps Gladstone as ‘the greatest human being ever to occupy 10 Downing Street.’
I loved reading this superbly written and fascinating account of the man voted (in a 2002 BBC poll) the ‘Greatest Briton’.
Churchill’s energy and zest for life were amazing. And what a life he lived. From war correspondent to Boer War prisoner, from MP to author of articles and history books, from the front benches to PM, via periods of acclaim to times in the wilderness…
Written with balance, wit and verve by a fellow MP/politician. This is essential reading.
