Churchill: A Life

xxii, 1066 pp. Includes black & white photographs & maps. A distillation of the most important insights uncovered during official Churchill biographer Martin Gilbert's research for the magnificent eight-volume Life of Churchill. "With the publication of the eighth and final volume of his official life of Sir Winston Churchill in 1988, Martin Gilbert was freed to devote himself to his own one-volume account of the life of Churchill. Filled with material unavailable at the time the earliest volumes of the official life went to press, Churchill is a brilliant marriage of the hard facts and intimate details of the man."
