Samenvatting

Churchill was an extraordinary figure. There has never been anyone quite like him, and inevitably legends have accumulated. How can he be treated both realistically and fairly after so much has been written about his controversial career by himself and others?

This is a major new assessment of Churchill and his role in twentieth-century history. Each of the authors is an authority on at least one aspect of his life, and the result is a fascinating interplay of ideas about his policies and motives. It is also a lively and readable portrait of an astonishing personality, who despite occasional mistakes and misjudgements remained at the centre of the political world for over half a century.

Contributors include: Philip Ziegler, Roy Jenkins, Donald Cameron Watt, Henry Pelling, Michael Carver, John Grigg, Michael Howard, and Max Beloff.
