Recenzii

'One of the best books ever written about Churchill ... Hastings's efficient, soldierly prose marches along at a brisk pace and carries the reader with it. He has drawn on copious original sources and consulted experts familiar with them, enabling him to cast fresh light on familiar episodes ... a magnificent performance.' Sunday Times 'The book's portrait of Churchill is scrupulously fair and often deeply moving ... in fact Hastings excels with all his character portraits, especially with Roosevelt and Stalin. Hastings is truly a master of strategy and high command.' Antony Beevor, Mail on Sunday

Descriere

Winston Churchill as Warlord 1940-45. Pre-eminent military historian Max Hastings presents Winston Churchill as he has never been seen before. By looking at Churchill from the outside in, through the eyes of British soldiers, civilians and newspapers, and also those of Russians and Americans, Hastings provides a new perspective of this great man. This is an intimate and affectionate portrait of Churchill as Britain's saviour, but also an unsparing examination of the wartime nation which he led and the performance of its armed forces.
