One of the greatest historians writing today gives us a defining portrait of the incomparable Winston Churchill In his landmark biography of Winston Churchill, acclaimed historian John Keegan offers a very human portrait of one of the twentieth century's enduring symbols of heroic defiance.

The result is a uniquely discerning look at one of the most fascinating personalities in history. "The best military historian of our generation." -Tom Clancy
