<br/><br/> Said to be the first biography of Churchill as a military man, the book traces his career from his time at Sandhurst, through military service in India, the Boer War, and the First World War, to leadership of Britain during the Second World War. Covers Churchill's remarkable successes as well as his notorious blunders; also takes issue with some long-running but erroneous stories e.g. that Churchill knew in advance about the German bombing raid on Coventry but did not give due warning in order to protect the Ultra code breaking system.
