"Unarguably the best single-volume biography of Churchill... A brilliant feat of storytelling, monumental in scope, yet put together with tenderness for a man who had always believed that he would be Britain’s savior." (Wall Street Journal)

In this landmark biography of Winston Churchill based on extensive new material, the true genius of the man, statesman, and leader can finally be fully seen and understood—by the best-selling, award-winning author of Napoleon and The Storm of War

When we seek an example of great leaders with unalloyed courage, the person who comes to mind is Winston Churchill: the iconic, visionary war leader immune from the consensus of the day, who stood firmly for his beliefs when everyone doubted him. But how did young Winston become Churchill? What gave him the strength to take on the superior force of Nazi Germany when bombs rained on London and so many others had caved? In Churchill, Andrew Roberts gives listeners the full and definitive Winston Churchill, from birth to lasting legacy, as personally revealing as it is compulsively listenable.

Roberts gained exclusive access to extensive new material: transcripts of War Cabinet meetings, diaries, letters, and unpublished memoirs from Churchill's contemporaries. The Royal Family permitted Roberts—in a first for a Churchill biographer—to read the detailed notes taken by King George VI in his diary after his weekly meetings with Churchill during World War II. This treasure trove of access allows Roberts to understand the man in revelatory new ways, and to identify the hidden forces fueling Churchill's legendary drive.

We think of Churchill as a hero who saved civilization from the evils of Nazism and warned of the grave crimes of Soviet communism, but Roberts's masterwork reveals that he has as much to teach us about the challenges leaders face today—and the fundamental values of courage, tenacity, leadership, and moral conviction.

"The best single-volume biography of Churchill yet written. . . . Roberts tells this story with great authority and not a little panache. He writes elegantly, with enjoyable flashes of tartness, and is in complete command both of his sources and the vast historiography."—Richard Aldous, The New York Times

"Terrific . . . By drawing on many previously untapped sources, Mr. Roberts has produced a more complete picture of his subject than any previous biography."—The Economist

"Even if you’ve read every other book about the former prime minister and seen all the movies, expect revelations. For example: The royal family permitted the author to read King George VI’s diary notes about his wartime meetings with Churchill. That’s a first."—The Washington Post

Superb

I enjoyed the book, but felt it is a bit too long and sometimes overdetailed (and repeating) on matters that don't contribute too much to understanding the story or the figure.

Exceptional figure, book felt too long

It is hard to relate how good this is (and what value) - a 50 hour book that you really don’t want to end. It really is for me the standard bearer for audio books. In the middle of lockdown, facing challenges as we have, to have this in the background was just profound, inspiring and often gripping. So well is the first part of Churchill’s life told, that I was almost concerned that the war part could not reach the same high points. But there the story takes off in new directions. Powerful and ultimately spellbinding.

Beautiful, spellbinding

Well narrated biography by an English reader with special voice for Churchhill's numerous quotes. He was the man of the hour in WW2 but had many learning opportunities beforehand. Recommended read of a great man with a balanced report of his checkered performance. His humility and humor held the honor of many friends and foes.

Cherub or challenge

There were lots of weird audio cuts and bizarre ways of inflecting sentences in this audiobook. Like unexpected and unnatural pauses, misplaced emphases, lots of little issues that made it sound like the guy was reading the words for the first time -- which maybe he was? Still, Roberts is an incredible researcher and writer and I recommend consuming this book using whatever sense most suits you no matter the flaws of the recording.

Amazing biography, questionable reading

A complete and fair report on who Winston Churchill was and how he became one of the most significant leaders in the 20th Century

A must for the person who hates History

I loved this book. The author didn’t sugar coat Churchill’s flaws. But also fully documented the life of this great man.

Well done. Very fair.

With a wealth of primary source material, Andrew Roberts brings Winston Churchill to life. I found myself laughing at times & angry & sad at others. Roberts is a master of his craft. Winston Churchill seemed to leap off the pages in print & come alive in audio. I highly recommend this entertaining & enlightening work of history. I agree with Eisenhower, Winston Churchill is indeed one of the great men of our age. He was a lion in a period when we needed both a lion’s courage & a lion’s roar. Churchill will not disappoint.

So much new material, excellent contrasts, and unapologetic rebuttal of anti factual propaganda meant to reduce Churchill’s well deserved position as the most consequential person of the 20th century. In total the best biography of Churchill — the person, the leader and the legend. Truly enjoyed it.

This is an exceptionally good biography of Churchill. Roberts had access to recently released private papers that allowed him to bring Churchill's story up to date, with contemporary insights from his peers, colleagues, and detractors. The Audible reader was also excellent. It's a long book but well worth the time.
