Reviews
"It turns out that while Wikipedia can ably trace the arc of Churchill''s life, Johnson...can give the reader the definite sense of having known Churchill, or at least of having hung out with him for a bit... Churchill lets you spend some time in the man''s company, and who wouldn''t want that?" - New York Times Book Review "Paul Johnson is the most celebrated and best-loved British historian in America." - Wall Street Journal "[If] you appreciate clarity, authority, and verve in historical writing, you will understand why I gulped down [ Churchill ] and now declare it the most exciting biography I read in 2009." -Jesse Kornbluth, Huffington Post "Johnson clearly shares and revels in Churchill''s generosity of spirit and limitless intellectual energy. He has produced a book that is a joy--and a worthy tribute to both of them." - Washington Times "You read Johnson to be provoked and entertained, and on both these scores his biography, like its subject, succeeds wonderfully." - The American COnservative "With deft narrative skill and keen insight, Johnson masterfully sketches the phases of Churchill''s life...Along the way, Johnson gives us wonderful insights into Churchill''s character...Rich with anecdote and quotation, Paul Johnson''s Churchill illustrates the man''s humor, resilience, courage, and eccentricity as no other biography before." - National Review Johnson''s story arc is written in fluid prose that beautifully reveals the tension of achievement of Churchill''s life." -Dallas Morning News "The book''s most original offering is--in characteristically vivid prose and a consistent intelligence and urbanity--Johnson''s distillation of life lessons from Churchill''s storied career." -Jon Meacham, Slate.com, "It turns out that while Wikipedia can ably trace the arc of Churchill's life, Johnson...can give the reader the definite sense of having known Churchill, or at least of having hung out with him for a bit...

Synopsis
Applies a wide lens and an unconventional approach to illuminate the various phases of Churchill's career. From his adventures as a young cavalry officer in the service of the Empire to his role as an elder statesman prophesying the advent of the Cold War, eminent historian Paul Johnson shows how Churchill's immense adaptability combined with his natural pugnacity to make him a formidable leader. Johnson's narration of Churchill's many triumphs and setbacks, rich with anecdote and quotation, illustrates the man's humour, resilience and courage as never before., Acclaimed historian Paul Johnson presents a revelatory look at the greatest statesman of the 20th century.
