This was an intriguing book, well written and we'll researched. The author obviously knows the topic of Winston Churchill very well, and it shows throughout the entire book.
The details of Churchill's life from pre-WWI through his death in 1965, especially his anti-bolshevism and anti-communisim work are very interesting. The additional information about Fulton County, Westminster College, and the men and women who organized the speech are an added bonus.
