About the book
Boris Johnson's portrait of Winston Churchill, written for the fiftieth anniversary of his death, argues that one person can change the course of history. Johnson takes on myths and misconceptions about Churchill, notes that the king had to order him to stay out of the D-Day action, and sets out the contradictions of his life: he embraced strategic bombing on a large scale while loathing the ruin war brings, and he stayed politically incorrect while pioneering health care, education and social welfare. Johnson also covers his work as a journalist and orator, his Nobel Prize for Literature and the painting that kept his depression at bay. Above all, he credits Churchill's wartime leadership with saving civilisation.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said in an interview that he has given away many copies of it as Christmas gifts.

There’s one book that I’ve given that it was just Christmas, that I’ve given away a lot of copies. This is a book about Winston Churchill by Boris Johnson. A very talented guy.
