Description

The political career of this outstanding British statesman unfolded against the backdrop of the two greatest events of the twentieth century — the First and Second World Wars, which predetermined his fate and his entire life. Churchill's political career lasted three-quarters of a century, during which he knew both brilliant triumphs and catastrophic falls. But his finest hour came during the most difficult period of human history — the Second World War, when, having taken up the post of Prime Minister, he called on his nation to unite in the struggle against Hitler's Germany and became the initiator of the Allied coalition — Great Britain, the USSR and the USA — which culminated in the great Victory. The author of the book, Francois Bedarida, is a French historian specializing in English history and the founder of the Institute of Contemporary History. On an extensive documentary basis, he describes Churchill's biography, drawing the reader in with clear, accessible language and an unmistakable striving for objectivity in his account.
