Synopsis

Based on 15 years' research, this biography tells the story of how Churchill's political career developed, and why he could serve in both Conservative and Liberal governments. It reassesses his role in the Dardanelles fiasco and it describes his long climb back to power and influence as well as the human price which his ambition exacted from those around him. The conclusion demonstrates how and why the man created by the previous six decades had the vision he had in 1940 - and what the limits of it were.
