Book Suggestions for Winston Churchill
 

I am really fascinated with him. I guess I'm looking for books on his life.

Does anyone have any suggested books?

Thanks

I have several suggestions :D

One of the better ones to read is his first autobiography entitled, "My Early Life". A great read, it provides some very interesting insight into who he was and you get a good sense of his profound humor and wit.

A must-have is the set written by his (I think) offical biographer William Manchester. The volumes are entitled "The Last Lion", with sub-titles for the additional volumes ("Visions of Glory" and "Alone"). These are magnificent works.

Of other interest may be the book done by his great grand-daughter, Celia Sandys entitled, "The Young Churchill".

"Blood, Sweat, and Tears" was written by Churchill himself in (I believe) 1941. Also a great book though it may be tough to find.

Not so much a "book" but more of a pictorial is a work entitled, "Winston Churchill: the Photobiography" by Paterson. It's chock full of pictures of Sir Winston taken during his life.

Hope this helps :)

For a slightly different point of view than most hagiographies:

Carlo D'Este is an excellent historian!

These two historial fiction pieces by Michael Dobbs caught my attention ...

Churchill’s Triumph: A Novel of Betrayal

Churchill’s Hour: A Novel of Defiance
http://www.borders.com/online/store/...sku=1402213921

They both sound like a fun read.
