A review by ivantable
Churchill by Paul Johnson

3.0

I didn’t enjoy this biography as I thought I would. As an American, I don’t understand much of the British political system, and the author doesn’t go at any length in explaining. Because of its brevity, it seems this is the kind of biography for one already acquainted with Churchill. Furthermore, Churchill is a wildly contradictory figure: there is much that draws me to him and there is also much the repels me. I think I’m going to pick up another biography. Maybe Manchester's three-volumes. We'll see!
