"Churchill. A Life" Topic

By Martin Gilbert, about 950 pages
About 625 pages into it, just about the start of WWII. Learning many things about the man I didn't know, so far very glad I found it at a used book store

A book on the battle of Camden. Very good.

It just arrived yesterday.

This is a good Churchill bio. I was just rereading big chunks of it over the holidays! Looking up stuff and less well-known years of his life.

Maybe the best single volume? William Manchester's magisterial 3-volume set is superb.

And right now on top of my fiction stack is a reread of "The Leopard and the Cliff" by Wallace Breem -- a very intense novel set in the 3rd Afghan War and based on a true incident. Can't go wrong with the Northwest Frontier! Plus Wallace Breem served in the old Indian Army during its last years of existence as part of the Raj, so he really knows his military stuff, and this place and people.

That sounds interesting I will have to add it to my list.

Finally finished it. I probably knew as much as most but certainly learned a lot on this very remarkable man.
