Περιγραφή για Churchill's Shadow: An Astonishing Life and a Dangerous Legacy Geoffrey Wheatcroft Vintage

\'Stimulating, erudite and above all entertaining...For any reader tired of the seemlingly endless round of Churchill-worship\' Robert HarrisA radical biography for a new generationIn A.J.P. Taylor\'s words, Churchill was \'the saviour of his country\' when he became prime minister in 1940. Yet he was also a deeply flawed character.Giving due credit to Churchill\'s achievements but making no secret of his failures, Geoffrey Wheatcroft takes a radically different approach to other biographies. Going far beyond a reappraisal of a life and a career, he reveals the complex shadow Churchill has cast over post-war British history and contemporary politics.Telling the story of Churchill\'s extraordinary life and the equally fascinating one of his legacy, Churchill\'s Shadow focuses on how we as a nation have been living in the grip of his self-written myth ever since his death.\'This is the indispensable biography of Churchill for the post-Brexit 2020s\' David Kynaston, author of On the Cusp: Days of \'62\'Wheatcroft is a skilled prosecutor with a rapier pen...this could be the best single-volume indictment of Churchill yet written\' New York Times\'A clear-eyed, incisive and superbly balanced account of Churchill, the man and the myth\' Robert Gildea, author of Empires of the Mind Σελίδες: 640, Διαστάσεις: 12.8x12.8cm
