About this product

Product Information

Distilled from years of meticulous research and documentation, filled with material unavailable when the earliest books of the official biography's eight volumes went to press, Churchill is a brilliant marriage of the hard facts of the public life and the intimate details of the private man. The result is a vital portrait of one of the most remarkable men of any age as well as a revealing depiction of a man of extraordinary courage and imagination.

"Mr. Gilbert's job was to bring alive before his readers a man of extraordinary genius and scarcely less extraordinary destiny. He has done so triumphantly."- Hugh Brogan, The New York Times Book Review "A richly textured and deeply moving portrait of greatness."-- The Los Angeles Times "By far the most lucid, comprehensive, and authoritative account of Churchill that has been offered in a single volume. It furnishes a crown to Gilbert's already prodigious labors."-- Philip Ziegler, The Telegraph (London) "It would seem impossible to distill the eight volumes of Churchill's authorized biography into a single volume, even one of a thousand pages. But that is what Martin Gilbert has done, and the result does not seem pinched at all.

Fantastic seller to deal with. Kept me informed and were super helpful and friendly. Provided tracking information so I could see where my order was and when to expect delivery. Considering that it had to come from the States, it arrived here in the UK very quickly. Very well packaged and exactly as described, I’m delighted with my dvd. Thank you so very much for your 5* service 😊

  • Trusting Churchill

    This is the official biographer approved by the Churchills. The Churchills knew the author and picked him as their preferred biographer. The photos are extensive, better than in most biographies of this English politician. Ask me if this is a truthful biography, you got me. Some biographers want you to reveal the real Churchill, all bull aside. It really is an art to reveal the flaws of an admired person. Some biographers would lay it on thick with no regard for the feelings of those who do not wish to see weakness or dark side of a loved one. Sometimes it takes a long time to bring out into the light of day failings of beloved heroes. It is possible some individuals are close to flawless living but I haven't found anyone like that.
