Universally acclaimed for their compelling narrative, their
fresh insights, and their objective renderings of Winston
Churchill''s life, THE LAST LION trilogy presents a revelatory and
unparalleled portrait of this brilliant, flawed, and dynamic
adventurer, aristocrat, soldier, and statesman.
Born at the end of the 19th century when Imperial Britain
still stood at the splendid pinnacle of her power, Churchill would
witness the shift a few years later as the Empire hovered on the
brink of a catastrophic new era. One of the greatest wartime
leaders of our time, he would go on to stand alone, politically
isolated in Parliament, as he took the lead in warning of the
growing Nazi threat, and would lead Britain to victory against Nazi
Germany and the Axis powers in World War II.
Now, celebrated historian William Manchester''s landmark
biographies are collected together for the first time, along with
the eagerly anticipated final installment Churchill''s last years in
power. More than thirty years in the making, THE LAST LION is the
definitive work on this remarkable man whose courageous vision
guided the destiny of a nation during darkly troubled times-and who
looms as one of the greatest figures of our century.
