Churchill has attained immortality as conservative statesman; liberal states­man, historian, biographer, wit, war correspondent, and brandy drinker, and has established somewhat lesser records as artist, bricklayer, novelist, aviator, polo player, soldier, animal lover and race-horse owner. 

A com­parison of him to the multi-faceted hustlers of the Renaissance is inevitable....

 But it is in Churchill that the triumphant accomplishments of the well-­rounded celebrity have found their most felicitous meeting.

It is wholly possible that he is the liveliest personality yet produced by the upper vertebrates.

Crowded with sparkling anecdotes, this book covers the full span of Winston Churchill's life, tracing in detail his family background and heritage, and the zest for living which both explains and motivates this amazing man.

There is a wealth of information and entertainment in this skillful but affectionate dissection of a great leader.
