About
Published to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth, this insightful portrait of Winston Churchill delves beyond well-known political moments, incorporating perspectives from various individuals who encountered him throughout his life. From Bletchley Park codebreakers to Hollywood stars like Richard Burton and Laurence Olivier, world leaders from Harold Wilson to Gandhi, these lesser-known interactions reveal glimpses of the man behind the legend.
Examining controversial aspects of his legacy, this multifaceted portrait challenges preconceived notions, inviting readers to reconsider the complexities of Churchill. Despite such a well-documented life, these 90 encounters capture the more elusive aspects of his character, brought out in greater clarity as though meeting him in full colour.
Sinclair McKay is The Sunday Times bestselling author of Berlin , Dresden , The Secret Life of Bletchley Park , The Secret Listeners , Bletchley Park Brainteasers and Secret Service Brainteasers . He is a literary critic for The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator and lives in London.
Julian Worricker, radio and TV broadcaster and journalist, will be in conversation with Sinclair.
