Ebook About "Masterful . . . The collaboration completes the Churchill portrait in a seamless manner, combining the detailed research, sharp analysis and sparkling prose that readers of the first two volumes have come to expect." - Associated PressSpanning the years 1940 to 1965, The Last Lion: Defender of the Realm, 1940-1965 begins shortly after Winston Churchill became prime minister-when Great Britain stood alone against the overwhelming might of Nazi Germany. In brilliant prose and informed by decades of research, William Manchester and Paul Reid recount how Churchill organized his nation's military response and defence, convinced FDR to support the cause, and personified the "never surrender" ethos that helped win the war. We witness Churchill, driven from office, warning the world of the coming Soviet menace. And after his triumphant return to 10 Downing Street, we follow him as he pursues his final policy goal: a summit with President Dwight Eisenhower and Soviet leaders. In conclusion, we experience Churchill's last years, when he faces the end of his life with the same courage he brought to every battle he ever fought.Book The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Defender of the Realm, 1940-1965 Review :
This is an excellent finale to the three book series. I have read an awful lot about Winston Churchill by now. He was by no means a perfect person and this book does not represent him as such. But when it is all said and done,,,, Charles DeGaulle, (who had a complicated relationship with alot of the leaders of the Allies), had the band play Fr'ere Victoire when Churchill came to Paris.... And said it was "Only Justice" that it was so.Papa Victory....Father of the Victory pretty much summed it up. He stood up to Hitler when England was all alone and many in England were trying to figure out how they might arrange a truce. The darkest days of the initial German Invasion... he was in France as the Prime Minister.... He undertook grueling airplane trips to meet with Roosevelt in North Africa and Canada.... he went to Moscow via Africa.... he was not a young man at the time... I was impressed by many things about Churchill, his leadership. His willingness to put his own bacon in the fire without hesitation.... he was a great man and I don't think he is appreciated for how great he was. By noted author and historian, William Manchester, and finished, upon his death, by Paul Reid, this is the third book in the Churchill trilogy and covers the period beginning with World War II and finishes with Churchill’s death in 1965. It’s an exhaustive work, filling 1200 pages in the paperback version, with more detail about the war than you can possibly digest, much less remember.As it is a book about the man, however, Churchill is described and analyzed in the context of each event. But how much can anyone say about one man, even one as complex and bigger than life as Winston Churchill? As a result, the character analysis, as such, does tend to become redundant over so many events. We get it: He was a cantankerous man with boundless energy who loved his country, his drink, and his cigars, and who, at times, displayed true love and wit and who always spoke with a flourish that few politicians before or since could duplicate. He was, in a few words, a truly brilliant eccentric brimming with emotion of every stripe who had incredible vision and unwavering persistence.Regarding the war, a friend who had fought in the jungles of Vietnam in the mid-60s once told me that no author or director had ever captured the one defining attribute of every battlefield – chaos. The same is apparently true in the map rooms, offices, and bunkers where war is strategized and planned. The reader gets the sense that we didn’t so much fight the war as we stumbled through it. I mean no disrespect in that observation. Such is the nature of the beast. But it is quite amazing, distressing, perhaps, how the war could have come out so differently at a thousand points along the way.And that, I suppose, is the one undeniable reason to avoid war at all costs. You never really know how it’s going to turn out. Hitler had to be stopped. Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin, the latter once having once been Hitler’s ally, all understood that. Violence was unavoidable. The exception, however, never fully negates the rule.And perhaps it was unavoidable, given the authors’ desire to draw sharp edges around the focus of their efforts (i.e. Churchill) that Roosevelt is defined in far less favorable shades than he is in Doris Kearns Goodwin’s outstanding book, “No Ordinary Time,” a biography of the Roosevelts. In the end, however, I didn’t feel they quite made their case regarding Roosevelt, nor, perhaps, did they want to, given that this was a book about Churchill, so I’m sticking with DKG’s more flattering portrayal.In the end, Churchill, largely through soaring rhetoric, brave example, and inexhaustible energy, kept his “small island”, as he refered to it, in the war. It was Russia, however, which paid the biggest price, having lost up to 30 million soldiers and civilians in the end, and the US industrial machine that actually made winning possible. American factories, and the ingenious lend-lease program, outfitted the US, British, and Russian armies almost single-handedly, all while fighting battles of survival in both Europe and the Pacific.The book is well written, but unless you are a history buff, you are bound to find it a bit long in length and on detail. In the end I was glad I read it but whenever I read a book about war I am left with the same question: Why are we still fighting them? They are savage affairs that bring out the worst in everyone. People on all sides end up doing things they would never condone in peacetime (the good guys included). There are no real winners and none of the characters emerges truly heroic or morally pristine. (Such honesty is a credit to the authors, to be sure.)Nonetheless, Churchill came along at a time when his country and the world truly needed him. He is an unparalleled historic figure who left nothing on the field of play. He was truly an extraordinary figure I am not sure could ever be duplicated.The world would be a very different place if he hadn’t been a part of it all.
