The author has taken many biographies of Churchill and distilled them into this one readable account. She allows for both sides to be told and then concludes with her own opinion of Winston in the last chapter. I enjoyed this format and learned quite a bit.

My own conclusion? He had his faults and was complicated but was in the right place at the right time. I like him.

"It is all true, or it ought to be; and more and better besides. And wherever men are fighting against barbarism, tyranny, and massacre, for freedom, law, and honor, let them remember that the fame of their deeds, even though they themselves be exterminated, may perhaps be celebrated as long as the world rolls around." :Winston Churchill
