On December 18, 2011, in Biographies & Memoirs, Book Reviews, History, Nonfiction, by Editor

Winston’s War: Churchill, 1940-1945 by Max Hastings

On May 18, 2011, in Book Reviews, by Editor

Winston’s War is a brilliant tribute to the leadership of Winston Churchill during the bleakest hours of World War II. Employing an oratory genius that awed proponents and critics alike, the British Prime Minister fortified national pride and resolve by remaining fiercely defiant in the face of a powerful Axis war machine. Yet historian Max Hastings provides more than just a look at the inner workings of one man, as he extends beyond the words of the dynamic leader to portray an honest account of the emotions that defined Great Britain during the 1940′s.

Mr. Chartwell: A Novel Involving Winston Churchill by Rebecca Hunt

On March 2, 2011, in Book Reviews, by Editor

The central premise of Mr. Chartwell is that Winston Churchill’s ‘black dog’ of depression is imagined as an independent character, free to walk, talk, and stalk others as he did with Churchill. The book follows the charismatic but menacing black dog–called Mr. Chartwell, but known as Black Pat by his closer acquaintances–as he weaves his devious influence into the lives of Churchill and Esther Hammerhans, a young widow. In different ways, both Esther and Churchill are approaching the end of deeply significant relationships, and the dog arrives to plague them as they face their challenges.

It turns out that while Wikipedia can ably trace the arc of Churchill’s life, Johnson…can give the reader the definite sense of having known Churchill, or at least of having hung out with him for a bit…Churchill lets you spend some time in the man’s company, and who wouldn’t want that?
