Carlo D'Este's startlingly fresh biography examines Winston Churchill through the prism of his military service, as both a soldier and commander. A descendant of the great Duke of Marlborough, Churchill himself never rose above the rank of lieutenant colonel, but at age 65 came eventually to direct Britain's military campaigns during the defining conflict of the twentieth century. Using extensive untapped archive materials, D'Este reveals important and previously untold observations from many of those who surrounded Churchill. He also explores Churchill's strategy behind the major military campaigns of World War Two, both his dazzling successes and distastrous failures, and his tumultous relationships with his generals.
