Info: The Official Biography. "Before he was twenty-five Churchill had attacked the cruelty of war, the stupidity of generals, and the inadequacy of government with equal enthusiasm. Forty years later, he would be called upon to marshal his country through one of the most devastating wars in human history, acting as military strategist, spiritual leader, and the personification of resistance to a tyranny he despised even more than he despised war. During the years between, whatever he said or did became the vocal point of widespread and often bitter debate. In the words of Martin Gilbert, he "dominated the world he lived in not by tyranny but by his abilities and his opinions." Through Churchill's own speeches and writings, the judgments of important contemporaries including John F. Kennedy and Prime Minister Harold Wilson, and recent appraisals by British and American historians, Martin Gilbert seeks to interpret the significance of a great career over sixty years of participation in the most fateful events of our century."-Publisher.
