Johnson illuminates the various phases of Churchill&apos;s career—from his adventures as a young cavalry officer in the service of the empire to his role as an elder statesman prophesying the advent of the Cold War—and shows how Churchill&apos;s immense adaptability and innate pugnacity made him a formidable leader for the better part of a century. Johnson&apos;s narration of Churchill&apos;s many triumphs and setbacks, rich with anecdote and quotation, illustrates the man&apos;s humor, resilience, courage, and eccentricity as no other biography before, and is sure to appeal to historians and general nonfiction readers alike.
