Soldier, parliamentarian, prime minister, speaker, artist, writer, husband and leader – all these faces, merging together, make Winston Churchill one of the most complex and attractive personalities in history. In this book, the outstanding English historian Paul Johnson describes the various stages of Churchill’s career: from the adventures of a young cavalry officer in the empire’s service to the prophetic prediction of an already middle -aged statesman about the inevitability of the beginning of the Cold War. Johnson shows how Churchill’s amazing ability to adapt to circumstances in combination with natural emotionality helped him take a leading place among politicians of the 20th century. Johnson’s story about Churchill is full of sparkling humor, jokes and quotes, as well as manifestations of stamina, courage and eccentricity of this great man.
