Editorial Reviews

Review

“With close attention to detail and context, Langworth effectively demolishes many core myths repeatedly used to launch personal and political assaults against Churchill...the great value of the book is that it invites readers to put Churchill’s decisions and actions into the context that surrounded them. A required addition to any collection on Churchill...essential”― Choice; “this book will be consulted by every person eager to find the truth about one ‘Great Man’ of history”―The International Churchill Society; “absolutely remarkable...both the work of a lifetime and a labor of love...unreservedly recommended...should also be required reading in all Schools of Journalism”―Cercles; “Langworth has taken Churchill out of the clutches of both the worshipful and the iconoclasts, thus giving him over to the appreciative...those who can look at him, warts and all.”―Warren Kimball, Churchill & Roosevelt: The Complete Correspondence; “No one knows more about Winston Churchill than Langworth, his vicar on earth. This superb book lays bare the lies, but also reveals new truths about The Greatest Englishman.”―Andrew Roberts, New-York Historical Society; “Langworth, a lifelong student of Churchill, strips away the falsehoods that belittle the personality, the career and the greatness of this giant historical figure.”―Paul Addison, University of Edinburgh.
