We live in an age of fascination with the United Kingdom’s great wartime leader (and no, I don’t mean Tony Blair). There are Winston Churchill books aplenty, including new editions of Pooh’s own writings; biographies, such as Andrew Roberts’s
Churchill: Walking with Destiny and multiple volumes of William Manchester’s
The Last Lion; guides to Churchill’s strategic thinking, such as
How Churchill Waged War; and even focused inquiries into the great man’s life, such as the recent tome by a pharmacologist and a neurologist,
Winston Churchill’s Illnesses, 1886–1965.
