Length2h 49m
About this audiobook
He charged with the cavalry at Omdurman, escaped from a prison in Pretoria, was blamed for the disaster at Gallipoli, spent a decade in the political wilderness, and in May 1940 became Prime Minister as the German armies swept across Western Europe. He lived to be ninety, won a Nobel Prize for his writing, and still divides readers more than half a century after his death. Winston Churchill Biography is a short, plain-English life of Britain's wartime leader, built to be read in a weekend. Unlike a battle-by-battle history of the Second World War or a long scholarly biography, it keeps one man in the frame from the toy soldiers of a Blenheim childhood to the state funeral on the Thames, and it gives the praise and the criticism equal care, with each judgment attributed to the people who made it. Inside, you'll discover: Whether you are a student, a traveler heading for Chartwell or Blenheim, or a curious reader who has heard the speeches and the arguments, this book gives you the full arc of a long, remarkable and contested life, in clear language and without the myths.
