Great Britain's most celebrated statesman, Winston Churchill, didn't just live historyâ??he made it. In these 24 lectures that unfurl like a great story, enjoy a thorough, multifaceted exploration of Churchill's life, accomplishments, complexities, and legacies. Guiding you chronologically through the life and times of this master statesman, Professor Shelden takes you from the dawn of Churchill's political career to his final years in a much-changed geopolitical landscape. You'll examine Churchill's beginnings as a young liberal statesman, his rise to the Admiralty and his relentless push for an imposing naval force, his fight against the Nazis, his equally dramatic postwar career suspended between two different cold wars (against the Soviets and Britain's Labour party), and more.You'll also get fascinating insights into Churchill's iconic public speeches, his philosophies of freedom and history, and his early realizations of the dangers of both Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia. But these lectures never shy away from examining how Churchill's preference for the backward glance of history occasionally distorted his view of the future, leading to missteps and disasters, including his failure to understand the rise of independence movements in the British colonies and his controversial World War II bombing campaigns in German cities like Dresden.Poet, historian, statesman, soldier, prime minister, husbandâ??Churchill played many roles throughout his life. And these lectures bring them all together to create a fascinating, multilayered biography… (mere)

Very good and engaging biography covering the usual highlights but giving you a lot more context, presented well. Covers Churchill's early life through the world wars, but doesn't forget the twilight years, after getting pushed out of politics. ( )
