FINEST YEARS Churchill As Warlord 1940-45 - Max Hastings























Another book on Churchill, I believe there are about six hundred published, but as this is written by Max Hastings it is very readable.

The entire book is fascinating with little tidbits of information all the way through.

Churchill made some horrendous blunders throughout the war, but Hastings takes the view, likening Churchills war performance to a sportsman- you don't judge a superstar on individual games but rather across his entire career.

If the time period interests you this can't be recommended enough.
