In 1940, the nation rallied behind Britain’s greatest ever war leader, Winston Churchill, in an extraordinary fashion. But thereafter, argues pre-eminent military historian Max Hastings, there was a deep divide between what Churchill wanted from the British people and their army, and what they were capable of delivering. In Finest years: Churchill as Warlord, Sir Max provides new perspectives on a man viewed by many as the greatest Englishman to have lived. He has reported from more than sixty countries and eleven wars for BBC TV and the London Evening Standard. He has won many awards for his journalism, including the Somerset Maugham Prize for his bestseller Bomber Command.
