Title: Too scholarly
Product review: This book bombards the casual American reader with far too many names and references to obscure British individuals with whom Churchill interacted. It implies that the reader already knows a great deal about other British leaders such as David Lloyd George, the prime minister at the end of World War I.If you are a Churchill afficionado, it no doubt has some good tidbits. But for someone looking for a well-written and more general overview of Churchill and the times he lived in, this is not the right book.By contrast, Donald's book on Lincoln was far more manageable and enjoyable.
