Description: When we seek an example of great leaders with unalloyed courage, ì the person who comes to mind is Winston Churchill: the iconic, ì visionary war leader immune from the consensus of the day, who ì stood firmly for his beliefs when everyone doubted him. But how ì did young Winston become Churchill? What gave him the strength to ì take on the superior force of Nazi Germany when bombs rained on ì London and so many others had caved? In Churchill, Andrew Roberts ì gives readers the full and definitive Winston Churchill, from ì birth to lasting legacy, as personally revealing as it is ì compulsively readable.

Roberts gained exclusive access to extensive new material: ì transcripts of War Cabinet meetings, diaries, letters and ì unpublished memoirs from Churchill's contemporaries. The Royal ì Family permitted Roberts--in a first for a Churchill ì biographer--to read the detailed notes taken by King George VI in ì his diary after his weekly meetings with Churchill during World ì War II. This treasure trove of access allows Roberts to ì understand the man in revelatory new ways, and to identify the ì hidden forces fueling Churchill's legendary drive.
