This well-researched, well-written and soundly argued book is a real addition to the avalanche of books on Winston Churchill, illuminating where the military views came from that were so profoundly to affect the twentieth century and beyond. * Andrew Roberts, author of 'Churchill: Walking with Destiny' * Masterful research, impeccable detail, with a beautifully f lowing narrative of which Churchill himself would have been proud. * Professor Peter Caddick-Adams * A lively and compelling account of a remarkable military-political career. As eye-opening as it is comprehensive, Tucker-Jones brings to life Churchill's experience of combat and military command and charts the course that made him such a great warlord. Balanced and judicious, this book shows us the full measure of the man - his mistakes, blunders and defeats, as well as the glorious victories. * Professor Geoffrey Roberts *
