In this magisterial book, Roy Jenkins's command of the political history of Britain and his own high-level government experience combine in a narrative account of Churchill's astounding career that is unmatched in its shrewd insights, its unforgettable anecdotes, the clarity of its overarching themes, and the author's nuanced appreciation of his extraordinary subject."--BOOK JACKET. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Churchill, Winston, |d1874-1965. 650 0 Prime ministers |zGreat Britain |vBiography. 651 0 Great Britain |xPolitics and government |y20th century. 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 856 42 |3Publisher description |uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/hol021/2001040560.html 852 0 |bstacks |hDA566.9.C5 |iJ46 2002
