Critics Review
Johnson’s history of Churchill is well crafted, amply researched, and a pleasure to read. It can serve as a change of pace from more plodding accounts.
Genuinely clever… this book sizzles. - The Times
Churchill’s own energy - his indefatigable pursuit of excitement, glory, place and power - demands a writer of fizz and passion to do history justice. Johnson is that writer. - Mail on SundayA bravura performance…Johnson has not only celebrated Churchill in this book: he has emulated him with comparable panache. - Financial TimesAn engagingly written romp through the elder statesman’s greatest achievements. - ObserverReadable, engaging and often funny. - Evening StandardA characteristically breathless romp through the life and times of our greatest wartime leader…high on entertainment as it is on providing an appraisal of the great man’s achievements. - TelegraphRiveting…Boris is a superb, accessible writer, with an easy, good-humoured touch. - IndependentThe book’s style is often chatty, enthusiastic and as funny as you would expect. - The SpectatorAbout The Author
