Sir Winston Spencer Churchill was a British statesman and politician, Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1940-1945 and 1951-1955, military officer, journalist, author, Honorary Fellow of the British Academy, Nobel Prize winner, and, according to a 2002 poll conducted by the BBC, the greatest Briton in history.
Churchill, portrayed by William Manchester and Paul Reed, is a man of unyielding courage, a sharp mind and an incredible drive for action. This book is a brilliant account of how Churchill organized his nation to defend and militarily repel Nazi Germany, forcing Roosevelt to support Britain with arms supplies. It was he who insisted on helping the Soviet Union, which did not prevent him from remaining its staunch ideological enemy In the Old Man, as his staff called him, coexisted several, sometimes contradictory personalities. He worked unacceptably hard, was egotistical, picky, irascible, rude, inattentive to people and at the same time filled with compassion for those who were in a difficult situation. But no matter what happened to him and his country, to which he was eternally devoted, he always acted in accordance with his motto: "Never give up!".
