Like a dozen biographies packed into one, it reveals Churchill to be liberty's defender and a reactionary imperialist; a soldier who shot men in the face and a voluptuary who wore pink silk underwear; a best-selling, Nobel-prizing-winning author who never attended a university.
This short volume captures Churchill's virtues and flaws, his humor and his pomposity, his inspired words and his oddball notions.
