Reviews

[Stami Shturbanova · Rating 3 out of 5]

Като първа книга, която чета за Чърчил беше интересно да прочета една различна гледна точка от това, което бях чувала до момента за него. Сякаш в повечето филми и статии е доста възхваляван, докато тук се разкриват много от отрицателните му страни и политики. От един момент нататък, книгата става доста пристрастна в отрицателна посока, но все пак явно това е мнението на автора. Ще ми е интересно да прочета и друга гледна точка за този така известен политик.
