We know Winston Churchill as a brilliant political and statesman, a fighter against Nazism, and finally a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. In a poll conducted by the BBC in 2002, the British people recognized him as the greatest Briton in history. However, Churchill was first and foremost a man of his time, and thus a passionate defender of the British Empire and the imperial idea. It is this aspect of his political activity, without which Churchill's portrait would not be complete, that the renowned British-Pakistani writer, historian, publicist and social activist Tariq Ali addresses. As head of the British navy during World War I, Churchill made a series of catastrophic mistakes that cost thousands of lives. His attempt to crush Irish nationalists left wounds that have not healed to this day. Even the most revered period of Churchill's political career, when the war against Nazi Germany was underway, was marked by the famine in Bengal that killed more than three million Indians, the clash between British troops and the Greek People's Liberation Army, and other "dark pages" that are documented in detail in Tariq Ali's book.
