Since the last major biography of Churchill, over 40 collections of private papers of those who worked with him have been deposited at the Churchill Archive. Andrew Roberts is the first biographer to have used not only these, but also King George VI’s private diaries detailing their meetings, as well as many other new sources - such as the verbatim accounts of War Cabinet meetings - to present a totally fresh view of the man who towers over the twentieth century. The result is a goldmine of revelations showing Churchill as we’ve never seen him before, in all his complexity.
Andrew Roberts is a biographer and historian of international renown. He is also the author of Napoleon the Great and Leadership in War: Lessons from Those Who Made History.
