Churchill
ASHLEY JACKSON
A brilliant new biography of

one of the greatest Britons
Winston Churchill attracted far more criticism alive
than he has since his death. He was, according to
Evelyn Waugh, ‘always in the wrong, surrounded
by crooks, a terrible father, a radio personality’.
Whatever one’s view of ‘the greatest Briton’, and
despite the best efforts of an army of writers who have
penned portraits of him, Winston Churchill remains
splendidly unreduced. He also remains enormous fun.
