Churchill

Clive Ponting · 1995 · 900 pages

This revisionist, unauthorized biography of Winston Churchill, challenges the myth that has grown up around the war leader, much of it propagated by Churchill's own writings, and draws on recently-released material to paint a picture of a politician whose views were sometimes extreme and repugnant, who was disliked and distrusted by his colleagues, and whose private life was affected by his taste for money and alcohol.
