Andrew Roberts - Churchill I.-II.

A determined defender of Western civilization, a statesman of epochal importance, or a war criminal, Holocaust-denying dictator? More than 1,000 books have been written about the life of Winston Churchill, but according to leading critics, the work of Andrew Roberts, considered one of the most respected British historians today, is the best choice if you want to get to know one of the mythical figures of 20th century history. Having studied Churchill's character and era for many decades, Roberts's book is more than exhaustively detailed sets of data and the presentation of previously unknown historical documents: the author focuses on the individuality of the extremely versatile British politician, who was always able to move forward, rebuilding himself again and again.
In his reading, Churchill is both English and American, aristocratic and democrat, gambler, soldier, dreamer, artist, bigot, butterfly lover, journalist, screenwriter, novelist, sage and savant.
During his long life, Churchill experienced the greatest depths and heights. He bounced back and forth between the Conservative and Liberal parties, winning and losing. He made decisions that are recognized and condemned even today. In addition to his varied military and political career, he was also a war correspondent and a prolific writer, hobby historian, and received the Nobel Prize for literature for his historical works. His legacy is still decisive - not only in the former British Empire, but throughout the world.
