Churchill: Walking With Destiny by Andrew Roberts
1,100 pages
Published 2018
Goodreads - Churchill: Walking with Destiny
If it were socially acceptable for a 50 year old man with a wife and kids like myself, to have an idol other than my dad, the Bulldog would be it...ha. I love this man. I read anything I can get my hands on when it comes to Churchill. As we all are, he's a flawed man but nobody loved England more than Winston.
Andrew Roberts does a great job chronicling the WWII years but I was most interested in the years when he first became a MP at the age of 1904. Yes, Winston loved to hear himself speak but damn it, he was great at it. He was also one hell of a courageous man. My one complaint was I was looking for more info on the post WWII years especially him becoming PM for a second time. He is one of my favorite historical figures. It's a long book but I loved and learned so much.
4.5 stars from me.
