Here is Churchill as a light in the approaching darkness, readying himself for the terrible stand to come.

Manchester's luminous portrait never loses sight of Churchill the man-a man with limitations, especially his callousness toward others (including his supporters) and his recklessness, which could border on the foolhardy but also a man whose vision was global and whose courage was boundless. The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, Volume 2: Alone, 1932-1940 by William Manchester 4.5 (18) Paperback (Reissue) 21.49 24.00 Save 10 Hardcover 50.00 Paperback 21.49 eBook 16. Recognizing the horrifying truth, Churchill stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the sordid British and French policy of appeasement. In this powerful biography, the middle volume of William Manchesters critically acclaimed trilogy, Winston Churchill wages his defining campaign: not against. Yet despite his personal and political troubles, Churchill managed to assemble a vast, underground intelligence network-both within the British government and on the continent-which provided him with more complete and accurate information on Germany than the British government. During this period, Churchill was tested as few men are: relentlessly pursued by creditors, disowned by his own party, vociferously dismissed by the press as a warmonger, and twice nearly lost his seat in Parliament. In this volume, we witness the war within, before the colossal war to come.
