History - always the inevitable outcome of impersonal and imponderable forces or can a single man affect its course? In this particular case, the author argues, most decidedly the latter. Covering all aspects of Churchill's life and career, it's a lively and informative read with Johnson's enthusiasm and admiration for his subject's capacity for work, journalistic background, outsider status and self-determination shining through. Might we see Boris sporting a bow-tie and chomping on cigars soon?
