Churchill - A Beginner's Guide reveals the real Churchill behind the myth of one of the great figures in twentieth-century history. It follows the ups and downs of his often stormy career as soldier, writer and statesman. Learn how Churchill, a romantic and a rebel, fell out of favour many times before becoming Britain's greatest wartime leader in 1940. Churchill's defiant brilliance helped save Britain, and perhaps the world, from Nazi tyranny, to leave a near-mythical legacy.
