Kate Monro asked this question about Clementine: The Life of Mrs. Winston Churchill:
Could anyone recommend the most readable book about the life of Winston Churchill? I'm after something I can barely put down because its so exciting. I'm less about the facts and the figures and more about the stories behind the man but I love a history lesson too!

I have listened to the first two on audio books and I have just started the third. They are so fascinating. The Last Lion Part 1 years 1874-1932 was so interesting in many ways. I felt like I was walking down the streets of Victorian England. The first chapter of The Last Lion Part II, Alone: 1932-1940 is boring but after that there is the best run up to WWII that I have ever read. You can read my reviews of both. If you do not like them I will send you a check if you send me the used copies and a receipt. (less)
