The Complete Life of Winston Churchill

A captivating portrait of one of history’s most compelling figures—Winston Churchill—told with the usual wit and charm of Leonard Wibberley (author ofThe Mouse that Roared).Many books have been written about Winston Churchill at his finest hour as Britain’s leader during World War II, but few tell the stories of the his youth—as a rebellious schoolboy, as a daring young soldier who took part in cavalry charges and in hand-to-hand combat in India and Africa, and as a brazen foreign correspondent, covering wars in Sudan, Cuba, India, and South Africa.This entertaining biography also covers Churchill’s surprising rise as a novelist of 40 books and not-so-surprising rise as statesman—all experiences that shaped the great world leader he became.Suitable for young readers as well as old.“A gratifying introduction to an interesting person.”—Kirkus Review★★★★★ “This was an excellent resource for delving into what I thought was going to be a boring subject.”—Amazon Review“The author wields a colorful, lively, up-close style and incorporates plenty of action from Winston Churchill’s adventurous life. Several pages of photos enhance the book’s charisma.”—from Churchill: A Concise Bibliography By Buckley Barry BarrettRead more
