Book Review: Churchill: A Life by Martin Gilbert

One of the better biographies I’ve read. The author tells the story of Winston Churchill’s 80+ years, from birth to death, using public records, letters, and assorted other sources. Beyond facts, the author weaves an unbiased story of the life of this amazing man. Churchill came from a privileged background but appeared to work hard throughout life to “earn his way” and, some would say, was destined to lead Britain during WWII. The insight one gains about the war is fascinating.

Highly recommended.
