This excellent collection stems from a 1991 conference at the University of Texas, where 27 distinguished participants offered these distillations of their expertise on topics ranging over Churchill's entire career. Historians Blake and Louis have edited these subsequently rewritten papers and commissioned two more for this stimulating and often insightful volume. There are no bombshells, but Churchill comes into sharp focus as a fallible giant. This work will be valuable to historians and fascinating to any interested reader. Try Warren Kimball on the FDR partnership, Philip Ziegler on monarchy, Donald C. Watt on appeasement, or S. Gopal's well-honed but scrupulously just commentary on India. Essential for academic libraries and highly recommended for any British history collection.-- Nancy C. Cridland, Indiana Univ. Libs., Bloomington
