I would quite like to go back to the war room now and look at the timeline and place this book in that framework. I basically viewed him from what I saw of him through the special relationship, and British museums I visited while in London. I don’t like stan him or anything, he has done quite a lot that is 100% condemnable, but this biography of him has widened my view about him. Churchill is like one of those people who has left massive marks on the world, and reading about him is so interesting.

So until Gandhi and the bits of WW1 I know about, or the Great Depression And other American landmarks I tended to be a bit muddled about the context and order of some things. Mostly because I did not have a lot of knowledge of this time period in UK politics, Churchill, or a super firm framework of WW1. This book was tremendously well researched, it’s flow from event to event is very logical, the context to the time period is immensely helpful and very interesting. I am not sure if I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it, I do suspect that I might not have finished it if I had gone about it that way. I feel I should be surrounded by a cheering crowd for this.
