Interview Walking With Churchill
Andrew Roberts
In Churchill: Walking With Destiny —rated by The New York Times as the best one-volume biography of Winston Churchill yet written—British author and historian Andrew Roberts explores seemingly well-trod territory. More books have been written on the celebrated British prime minister than any other 20th-century figure, with the exception of his nemesis Adolf Hitler. But Roberts’ work, based on extensive new material from King George VI’s diary and wartime meeting notes, brings to light a more multifaceted character than ever before.
