"Churchill's morphing character is juxtaposed against the changing world in the post-World War One era, with key events such as the Bolshevik Revolution and subsequent civil war in Russia, upheaval in the Middle East, and rise of Fascism all covered in detail... Harte was born in 1925, he has lived through the many changes brought by the 20th century and there are few as well placed as him to profile Churchill in context. This book is a neat blend of social commentary with the story of a powerful character in his rise to ascendency. A considered study and recommended."
