This work is one of the most important biographies of the twentieth century and with its unique documentation constitutes a vast printed archive and source book for historians—as well as a fascinating experience for the general reader.” the great works of history. And short of leading Great Britain through mankind’s most catastrophic war, there is no better education in statesmanship than to follow Churchill’s many forms of genius as they are brilliantly presented herein.” — MARK HELPRIN Author, Freddy and Fredericka — PAUL JOHNSON Author, Creators: From Chaucer and Durer to Picasso and Disney “A milestone, a monument, a magisterial achievement. Sir Martin Gilbert’s life of Sir Winston Churchill—started by the subject’s son Randolph—is rightly regarded as the most comprehensive life ever written of any age. Wise, honest and all-embracing, the work stands as a testament to the quality of Gilbert’s scholarship. The companion volumes, moreover, represent fine works of literature in their own right, since they comprise Sir Winston’s own correspondence. No praise could be higher than that Gilbert has produced a tribute entirely worthy of the saviour of modern Western Civilisation.” — ANDREW ROBERTS Author, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900 the Official Biogr aphy of Winston S.
