Ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson takes on Winston Churchill in this biography like no other.

'A stunning tour de force' - Sunday Telegraph
'Genuinely clever . . . this book sizzles.' - The Times

For many, Winston Churchill is one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. He truly was a man who made history.

In this book, Boris Johnson explores the man behind the name, and what makes up his unique 'Churchill Factor'. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays - with characteristic wit and passion - a man of multiple contradictions, contagious bravery, breath-taking eloquence, matchless strategizing and deep humanity.

Fearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the King to stay out of action on D-Day; he embraced large-scale strategic bombing, yet hated the destruction of war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was a celebrated journalist, a great orator and won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was famous for his ability to combine wining and dining with many late nights of crucial wartime decision-making. His open-mindedness made him a pioneer in healthcare, education and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect.

Published in association with Churchill Heritage, The Churchill Factor is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what makes a great leader in a time of crisis.©2014 Boris Johnson, Published in association with Churchill Heritage Ltd.

批評家のレビュー

The must-read biography of the year.
An engagingly written romp through the elder statesman's greatest achievements.
Genuinely clever... this book sizzles.
Churchill's own energy - his indefatigable pursuit of excitement, glory, place and power - demands a writer of fizz and passion to do history justice. Johnson is that writer.
A bravura performance...Johnson has not only celebrated Churchill in this book: he has emulated him with comparable panache.
Riveting...Boris is a superb, accessible writer, with an easy, good-humoured touch.
A characteristically breathless romp through the life and times of our greatest wartime leader...high on entertainment as it is on providing an appraisal of the great man's achievements.
Splendidly enjoyable... It is rare to find a serious study of a politician that's this entertaining.
This is a rollicking tale of a political maverick.
