A review by wilte
Churchill by Peter Hennessy, John Brownjohn, Sebastian Haffner

5.0

Even biographies of minor figures are often extended volumes with lots of pages and unimportant details. This book shows what an effective biography can be like; concise, to the point, very well written and lacking trivial details (I don't now know what Churchill's favorite color was, o no!). And Churchill by no means had a boring, uneventful life, making it even more of an accomplishment to cram it all into a slim book. Photographs and small asides on relevant other people or occurences round of this great book.
