Whilst many feel that Churchill's finest hour was as Britain's premier during the Second World War, William Manchester, in his second volume of Churchill's life, The Caged Lion, show that whilst he came into his own as prime minister, his finest hours were when he stood entirely alone, a political pariah, as he prophesied the outcome of appeasing Hitler's territorial ambitions.

Review:
Manchester has such control over a huge and moving narrative, such illumination of character . . . that he can claim the considerable achievement of having assembled enough powerful evidence to support Isaiah Berlin s judgment of Churchill as the largest human being of our time. The New Yorker
Memorable. San Francisco Chronicle
Stirring . . . As Manchester points out several times, it s as if the age, having produced a Hitler, then summoned Churchill as the only figure equal to the task of vanquishing him. The years Alone are the pivotal years of Churchill s career. The Boston Sunday Globe
The best Churchill biography [for] this generation . . . Even readers who know the basic story will find much that is new. Newsweek
A triumph . . . equal in stature to the first volume of the series. Newsday
Vivid . . . history in the grand manner. The Washington Post
Compelling reading. The Times (London)"
