The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Alone, 1932-1940 by William Manchester

5.0

When my friend Mayor Ponto of Brookfield recommended a 3 volume series on Winston Churchill and each series was approximately 1,000 pages I thought no man was that interesting. I was wrong. Winston Churchill lived the adventure of a 1,000 men and no man was more consequential to the 20th century. War and politics are two of my three careers so the book was right up my alley. One of the key lessons learned is that you may find yourself on the back bench, shunned, ridiculed and written off - just be patient, because times and leadership required for those dark times changes.
