Churchill: Walking with Destiny by Andrew Roberts
5.0
Amazing read. It is quite a long book, but I got the audiobook, so I was able to go through it with no problem.
PROS: Churchill´s life story is truly amazing to read about. Every part of his story molds the person he became and the reason he is one of the greatest figures of the 20th century.
CONS: The author, sadly, spends too much time trying to defend Churchill from criticism, at times not letting the facts speak for himself and giving an air of bias. No need for that in my opinion. Everyman is imperfect and a biography should not shy away from that.
Truly recommended.
