This book was published in 2016 and stood idle in my library since then, it was time to get to it.
Not being a huge book, 144 pages or so, highlights briefly the life of Britain most controversial politician who is known over the world for the speeches he gave, his sharp wit, his observations and his ability to make strategic political decisions. This book brings forward interesting facts that I didn’t know; he once was a prisoner of war, a talented painter, won the Noble prize for literature and was subject of various controversies.
What I think about this book
If you want some quick information about Winston Churchill other what Wikipedia gives you get this book. For in depth knowledge stay with books written by historians. I like the succinct and informative narrative without getting bogged down with too much politics et made for easy and restful reading. The version I have is airy with lots of short paragraphs and no nonsense verbalize. This book is short and to the point and start with his family history and ends with Mr. Churchill death.
In all an enjoyable book
