I found this book provided a greater insight into Churchill the man than any biography I've read. Chapters are contributed by everybody from Churchill's secretary to President Eisenhower, and even Adolf Hitler gets a say (by means of excerpts from his speeches). The accounts are personal, intimate and wide-ranging. A remarkable picture of a remarkable human being emerges. For anybody with an interest in Winston Churchill, or the period which he defined, this book is essential reading.
