Written two years after Churchill's death, this book with it's author's empathy and understanding is as fresh now as when it was published. Haffner's critical insight into the great man's character, faults and errors of judgment, his analysis of the military man versus the politician, the fairness which highlights his obvious deep admiration, the passion and drive with which he writes, not to mention the many insightful photographs, is surprisingly complete in its 177 pages. A remarkable and memorable experience.
