"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. It is of course a grand story." --The Washington Post Book World "The most scholarly study of Churchill in war and peace ever written . . . essential diplomatic history and enlightening personal history." --Herbert Mitgang, The New York Times
