This was like a warm up for the over 1100 page biography I hope to read next year.

A great book. A great man.

[Tommy Kiedis · Rating 5 out of 5]

A splendid pictorial biography on Winston Churchill, covering his entire life. Max Arthur provides historical context to each of the 260 pages of photographs. This book is fascination and education.

[Cameron Bower · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book was good. Winston was an interesting man who will rightly always have a place in history among leaders who prevailed against adversity , and led their nations to victory.
