Fun and informative book of Churchill's life. This was my introduction to Winston Churchill and it was a pleasure to read.
The focus of the book (actual title is "Churchill: Speaker of the Century") is Churchill's path to becoming a great, inspirational speaker. How he had to work through his issues to become an inspiring voice in Britain leading up to World War II.
Easy to read with entertaining stories and quotes from Churchill's life. I had a hard time putting it down!
