Just finished the third and final volume of Winston Churchill’s biography by William Manchester (and Paul Reid), covering the best remembered part of his life (1940-1965). What a remarkable bio of one of the most important characters of the 20th century. Highly recommend! #winstonchurchill #lastlion #williammanchester #paulreid (at Upper East Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeXSiDNLX9F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Part 2 of William Manchester’s biography of Winston Churchill. Another terrific piece of work (1988), subtitled ’Alone’ and covering the years between 1932 and 1940, when he finally became prime minister on May 10, the day Germany invaded Holland, Belgium and France. A very interesting read! Highly recommended! #churchill #williammanchester (at Upper East Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWZE6QpJ5V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just finished the first of three volumes of the bio of Winston Churchill. This volume (883 pages, published in 1983 and covering the period of 1874-1932) is vast: it addresses not only the life of Churchill in those years but also the Victorian times, fin de siècle, India, South Africa, Sudan, the Arab Revolt, World War I, the Russian Revolution, the Middle Eastern Problems, the Irish Question, the Indian Independence, the decline of the British Empire, and the rise of Nazi Germany. But what a wealth of knowledge and history to learn from! Two volumes to go! #churchill #delightful #highlyrecommended #williammanchester #thelastlion (at Upper East Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_d1rPJOXa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
