The nation, and its leaders, had undergone a ‘dress rehearsal’ in 1914-18: conscription, rationing, convoys, air raids, mass production, women’s uniformed services, coalitions and war cabinets had all happened before, and Churchill had been there when they did. This experience, combined with Churchill’s extraordinary abilities (along with some foibles), were what enabled Britain to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREADER REVIEWS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘A fantastic brief biography of Churchill, incredibly well written, researched and presented’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘An excellent introduction to Churchill's life’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘Caddick-Adams presents a rich and insightful portrait of one of history’s most iconic figures, making this a must-read for anyone interested in Churchill’s legacy’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘Nimbly covers the extent of his remarkable life, providing marvellous detail’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55351097753974,"sku":"9781800753570","price":8.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36365284_195fd88e-a250-46f3-9147-8ab882b8d062.jpg?v=1759441617","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781800753570-winston-churchill","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
