Reviews

‘No-one could be better qualified to write this excellent summation of the life and times of Winston Churchill than Peter Caddick-Adams. His lifetime’s immersement in the study of the period, his wide and deep research, his first-class writing style and his lively sense of humour combine to make this book a really excellent addition to the ever-burgeoning Churchill oeuvre' - Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny ‘Caddick-Adams is probably the best military historian of his generation’ - Professor Chris Bellamy ‘Excellent summation … The fundamentals of Churchill’s extraordinary life stand out true and clear, and his example of leadership is revived for a new generation’ - Oliver Rhodes, International Churchill Society 'Witty and enjoyable ... Churchill’s life is the story of more than half a century of conflict and change. Reducing this, as Caddick-Adams has brilliantly done, to a very readable and entertaining narrative is a fine achievement' - Taylor Downing, The Past
