This well-researched, well-written and soundly argued book is a real addition to the avalanche of books on Winston Churchill, illuminating where the military views came from that were so profoundly to affect the twentieth century and beyond. * Andrew Roberts, author of 'Churchill: Walking with Destiny' * Masterful research, impeccable detail, with a beautifully flowing narrative of which Churchill himself would have been proud. * Professor Peter Caddick-Adams * A lively and compelling account of a remarkable military-political career. As eye-opening as it is comprehensive, Tucker-Jones brings to life Churchill’s experience of combat and military command and charts the course that made him such a great warlord. Balanced and judicious, this book shows us the full measure of the man – his mistakes, blunders and defeats, as well as the glorious victories. * Professor Geoffrey Roberts * This is a thoroughly recommended book and important to appreciate its focus and scope as a welcome addition to the Churchill library. * Aspects of History * A well-researched and well-argued offering that looks at some of [Churchill's] most controversial decisions and how they were influenced by his experiences in the First World War. * Soldier * Throughout the book the author offers a well-balanced opinion, & he is critical, but fair, when pointing out some of Churchill's mistakes. -- Simon Dalton * History Book Chat *
