The Times Churchill

A portrait of the life and legacy of Britain's most influential leader.

Drawing on a wealth of archive material from The Times and Imperial War Museums, this superbly illustrated edition offers a unique and nuanced perspective on the tireless statesman and victorious wartime leader.

Widely considered to be one of the 20th century’s most significant – if controversial – figures, Sir Winston Churchill held roles and made decisions that have attracted both praise and criticism. Ahead of his 150th birthday, this volume looks back on the fascinating story of one of the most influential people in British history.

Featuring previously unpublished material including private correspondence and rarely seen photographs, along with historic articles from The Times and original artwork, posters and wartime imagery from Imperial War Museums, this book is an illuminating insight into the meteoric rise and enduring legacy of Churchill’s extraordinary life and career.
