Description

|
|
|
This boxed set collects the magisterial three-volume biography of Winston Churchill from National Humanities Medal and Abraham Lincoln Literary Award recipient William Manchester, including the two original volumes by Manchester himself, and the third, which he asked Paul Reid to finish. "Manchester has such control over a huge and moving narrative, such illumination of character," wrote Alistair Cooke in The New Yorker, "... that he can claim the considerable achievement of having assembled enough powerful evidence to support Isaiah Berlin's judgment of Churchill as 'the largest human being of our time'." More than 30 years in the making, this is a singular and revelatory portrait of a flawed yet brilliant adventurer, aristocrat, soldier, and statesman. "Manchester has read further, thought harder, and told with considerable verve what is mesmerizing in its drama.... One cannot do better than this book."—Philadelphia Inquirer Sorry, this item is on backorder until January 21, 2013. We are happy to take a backorder and ship when it is available.
