Who was Winston Churchill? Even fifity years after his death he is one of the most iconic figures in British history: as a young man he was a maverick journalist, his many positions in politics before 1940 marked him out as a courageous but foolhardy man.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Yet it is Churchill's record in war, which has recently been questioned, that confirms his genius as a military commander and national leader - someone who understood the dangers of Nazi Germany before 1939; someone uniquely capable to lead the empire through the turmoil of the Second World War. Catherwood argues that it was Churchill's stand in 1940-41 that saved Britain and only he was able to bring together the allies that eventually defeated Hitler in 1945. Catherwood has produced a challenging yet accessible reassessment of the life and career of Winston Churchill, lion of British history and flawed hero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e Published: UK, 2021 \u003cbr\u003e Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group\u003cbr\u003e Pages: 272\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9781849010849\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 10: 1849010846\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Christopher Catherwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43544660443402,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9780141991061_d60da5d7-9371-4baf-935b-ae893ca106be.jpg?v=1653924493","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/his-finest-hour-a-brief-life-of-winston-churchill","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
