具体描述
On the fiftieth anniversary of Churchill’s death, Boris Johnson celebrates the singular brilliance of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays—with characteristic wit and passion—a man of contagious bravery, breathtaking 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 pioneered aerial bombing and few could match his experience in organizing violence on a colossal scale, yet he hated war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was the most famous journalist of his time and perhaps the greatest orator of all time, despite a lisp and chronic depression he kept at bay by painting. His maneuvering positioned America for entry into World War II, even as it ushered in England’s post-war decline. His openmindedness made him a trailblazer in health care, education, and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect. Most of all, he was a rebuttal to the idea that history is the story of vast and impersonal forces; he is proof that one person—intrepid, ingenious, determined—can make all the difference.

好玩有料，Boris Johnson真是第一Churchill吹。
评分好玩有料，Boris Johnson真是第一Churchill吹。
评分想了解丘吉尔生平的人不如去读传记，这本书无非借着保守党MP的身份卖了一手好梗。另外就是政客不可避免地夹带的私货。不过总的说来还是很有趣（嘴贱），值得一读。
评分簡單易懂，人無完人，偏執有時才能做大事，亦因時所需而改變看法
评分The lure of strong men在当今政界已经不足为奇了，也有一部分的社会受众。不过也许是读白纸黑字的缘故，看多了还是觉得有点受不了这种崇拜。这些铁腕人物并不一定是要靠特殊时代才能孕育出来。但在特殊的时代，如乱世，他们的作用才更显积极。而且这也完全取决于他们是站在人类还是反人类的立场上。另外，BoJo的嘴毒得也是随性。
