Title: Churchill by Roy Jenkins
Product review: We read this book for our book club. All members agreed that they did not enjoy "Winston Churchill" by Roy Jenkins. Besides being extremely long (900 pages!), members felt Jenkins focused on minutiae regarding Churchill's life while failing to convey why he was "the greatest Prime Minister Britain ever had", as the author repeatedly claimed. It concentrates on the details of political life, who said what, to whom and when, without discussing the impact of decisions taken. In addition, there is no discussion of what was happening in the world, ie, WWI, WWII, the fall of the British empire, rise of communism, etc.
