Winston Churchill played two roles during the Second World War: first as prime minister and later as a leading historian of the conflict. Between 1948 and 1954, he published six memoirs that strengthened his reputation and continue to shape our view of the war to this day.
Contents of the book
David Reynolds draws on Churchill’s manuscripts and correspondence to reveal the writer behind the memoirs. He shows how the British government censored the texts to protect state secrets, and how Churchill himself edited passages to avoid offending world leaders.
