具體描述
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.

用戶評價
這本書缺點多多，基本沒什麼組織結構，東一榔頭西一棒子。語言完全是大白話而且明目張膽的bias+夾帶私貨，而且各種惡毒和嘴賤，技法可以說不及格。
评分這本書缺點多多，基本沒什麼組織結構，東一榔頭西一棒子。語言完全是大白話而且明目張膽的bias+夾帶私貨，而且各種惡毒和嘴賤，技法可以說不及格。
评分好玩有料，Boris Johnson真是第一Churchill吹。
评分BoJ這代人太酷炫瞭 接受無能 書裏有個彆typo...editor失職 很多都是摘的彆處的材料--大篇幅的重疊 很紮眼 但是作者是記者吧 不是專業historian 這個也是寫給general public的消遣讀物...看在他一頭金發的份上 作為小讀者 還是原諒老人傢吧 公務畢竟繁忙 今年買手稿囤畫拍藏品 簡直要傾傢蕩産瞭.看BoJ寫的 這麼perky 有點傷懷..為瞭safeguard my soul and my spirit..偉人的真跡還是用來鎮宅吧..
评分想瞭解丘吉爾生平的人不如去讀傳記，這本書無非藉著保守黨MP的身份賣瞭一手好梗。另外就是政客不可避免地夾帶的私貨。不過總的說來還是很有趣（嘴賤），值得一讀。
