Review:
"Probably the most important revisionist text to be published since the war."-"The London Times "Charmley brings the great man's warts into high relief: his taste for luxury, his impetuousness, his abrasive personality, his self-absorption, his lack of foresight. Deeply researched, masterfully written." "-"Publishers Weekly "From the Hardcover edition.
About the Author:
John Charmley is a British diplomatic historian and a professor of modern history at the University of East Anglia, where he is head of the school of history. He is the author of eight books, five of which are being reissued in Faber Finds. He is perhaps most famous for his revisionist interpretation of British foreign policy in the mid-twentieth century, dealing with subjects like Appeasement and the Second World War with a degree of iconoclasm.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Of the three revisionist works John Charmley has written about British foreign policy in the mid-twentieth century this is the centrepiece.The author argues that Churchill deserves more credit for 'their finest hour' than has been granted, but just as his virtues were built on the heroic scale, so too were his faults and failures. The statesman who had struggled to destroy Nazism and restore Europe's balance of power ended by allowing Stalin to dominate central and eastern Europe.This is no mere exercise in debunking, in many ways the complex man presented in these pages is more interesting than the more hagiographical portraits.'This is not instant history run up to cause a sensation, but a meticulously documented reappraisal of Churchill's war leadership and of the career that led up to it. Nor is its tone contemptuous or vindictive. The author accepts that Churchill was a great man. His starting point is that even great men make mistakes.'
