Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Pre-eminent military historian Max Hastings presents a new and incisive portrait of Winston Churchill and his success or otherwise as a wartime leader. It is little understood how low his popularity fell in 1942 after a succession of defeats, with even some of his closest colleagues questioning his role directing the war machine. Hastings presents an intimate and even affectionate portrait of Churchill as Britain's saviour, but also an unsparing examination of the wartime nation which he led, and the performance of our armed forces. Sure to be extensively covered in the media with features and reviews.
