About this product
Product Information
Winston Churchill, indispensable when liberty was in peril, dead since 1965, is today still accused of various sins, from alcoholism and racism to misogyny and warmongering. Churchill had two personas - one that thought deeply about the nature of humanity, and one that helped to solve seemingly intractable problems. In his public life, he made mistakes but his faults were eclipsed by his virtues.
