Perhaps the
greatest tribute to the work of author Roy Jenkins is that, at times, he seemed to know what Winston
Churchill
was actually thinking - and you’re pretty sure he’s right. When the mind you’re reading about belongs to perhaps the
greatest Prime Minister in the history of Great Britain, Nobel-prize winner Winston
Churchill, that is a pretty impressive accomplishment. Jenkins’ biography is essentially unsentimental, and reveals Churchill’s idiosyncrasies and errors in an honest manner that serves only to elevate, rather than tarnish, the legacy of the man who rallied the free world to resist the tyranny of National Socialism. Jenkins has written an extraordinary volume which getAbstract.com highly recommends to any student of history.
