Více o knize

This new volume in the definitive biography of the greatest man of our age spans the years in which Churchill served in high posts of Lloyd George's Cabinet. They were years in which he came back form the humiliation and fall form power that followed the disaster at Gallipoli and once more forged and sharpened his skills in public office.Fact is separated from myth in the many dramatic and controversial episodes of the period--The German breakthrough of March, 1918, anti-Bolshevik Intervention in 1919, the working-out of the Irish Treaty, the Cairo Conference of 1921, the consolidation of the Jewish National Home in Palestine, and the Chanak crisis. In all these, and many other events, Churchill's leading role is explained and illuminated in Martin Gilbert's precise and masterful style.
