Since I'm also curently reading a bio of Mussolini, I'm looking to compare notes there as wellHence to overall title of the Trilogy and characterization of Churchill as "The Last Lion"Shipping costs can vary based on destinationRoger34 More than 1 year ago Taken together, the 3 volumes of this biography make a prodigious read, but Winston Churchill was indeed a prodigious human beingAlthough not a practiced historian, Reid learned well from Manchester, and the finished book is a worthy conclusion to what must be considered one of the most thorough treatments of Churchill so far producedBut even in this land of women, familial tension is eternalConnecting readers with great books since 1972Yet it is difficult not to conclude that his legacy and reputation would have been better served by leaving him standing alongside Churchill in May 1940, ready and poised for the approach of that finest hour
