Churchill

This terrific book, which bursts with character, humour and incident on almost every page ... is undoubtedly the best single-volume life of Churchill ever written

Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times

The best single-volume life imaginable

Simon Heffer, Sunday Telegraph

Roberts has produced a more complete picture of his subject than any previous biography. His certainly knocks into a cocked hat Boris Johnson's boisterously self-referential effort of a few years ago

Economist

A stupendous achievement: lucid, erudite, intelligent, but also inspiring. Roberts catches the imperishable grandeur of Churchill's life as no other historian has done

Daniel Johnson, Standpoint

Brilliant, breathtaking, unputdownable ... All Roberts's past life has been but a preparation for this hour and this work, and this brilliant book is a fitting crown to his own career

Michael Gove, Evening Standard

As Andrew Roberts reminds us in this epic biography ... Churchill's career provides ample proof that fact can be far more extraordinary than fiction

Nick Rennison, Daily Mail

It's the sort of biography that, one feels, Churchill himself would have wanted. Colossal, energetic, deeply knowledgeable, properly critical, but also sympathetic and, in places, deliciously funny

Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph

A heroic biography, appropriately matched to the ambition, egotism and undoubted achievement of the life it describes

John Campbell, Finest Hour

A work of unequalled scholarship. Read it and you will not have to bother with the previous 1,000 biographies

Paul Routledge, Tablet

An original portrait of an all-too-familiar figure ... He enriches the saga with wonderful examples of Churchill's aristocratic eccentricity, glittering oratory and wit

Piers Brendon, Literary Review

In a single volume, Andrew Roberts has captured the essence of one of the world's most impactful, most memorable statesmen. It is the crowning achievement of his career - and will become the definitive biography of its subject.
