This 2005 book is not a full – length detailed biography. Holmes instead focused on the character of Winston from childhood to his demise.
The analysis is perceptive and interesting, in particular for me on Winston ‘s efforts to rebuild the Royal Navy as First Lord from 1911- 1915 and 1939 – 1940. {see pages 95 to 124}.
However, this book is not for a reader who has not read a full biography of WSC. For that, I recommend Carlo D’este’ s Warlord A life of Winston Churchill at War.
