Book Reviews of Churchill : A Life
Book Review: A little dry but still very good.
Summary: 4 Stars
A good, solid biography although a little dull in parts, especially during the inter-war years. Something about the writing just feels a little stiff; I can't quite put my finger on it. The style is a bit dated, focusing on Churchill the politician and less on Churchill the person. I have to agree with previous critics who note the lack of objectivity; no mention is made of faults or short-comings. I read biographies, however, as much (or more) for the historical context as to learn about the particular person. Given that, I would still give this four stars despite it's serious shortcomings.
