Martin Gilbert traces Winston Churchill’s life from his childhood and early military service to his last years. The account follows his capture and escape during the Boer War, his entry into Parliament and his years at the Admiralty. It gives space to the political setbacks and years out of office that preceded his appointment as prime minister in 1940.
Gilbert was Churchill’s official biographer. In Churchill: A Life, he draws on private letters and the recollections of contemporaries to tell the story in one volume. Churchill’s personal life and friendships run alongside his wartime leadership, his dealings with the Allies and his return to office in peacetime. The chapters on the post-war years follow his response to the emerging Cold War.
