Winston Churchill - his name is still revered by leading figures throughout the world, and his reputation as a wartime leader remains unblemished. He was the moving force behind the allied victory in WWII - but how did he become the indispensable man, the greatest statesman of the 20th century? Rob Neillands show why no 21st century reader can fully understand the phenomenon that was Churchill without tracing the arc of his brilliant career. Who Churchill was, what he did and why he is so respected is increasingly unknown to recent generations. The man himself, together with the times and pressures that formed him, seem ever more remote from the present time. This book shows not just what Churchill accomplished, but how he prepared himself for greatness on the world stage, moving from soldier to writer to politician to Britain's greatest Prime Minister.
