Published: October
Andrew Robertss biography Churchill: Walking with Destiny was published in the fall of and quickly became a bestseller in both the US and UK. Roberts is an award-winning British author and journalist who has written more than a dozen books including Napoleon: A Life (which inspired a BBC tv series), The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War and House of Windsor.
Within weeks of its release this book was hailed as one of the very best single-volume biographies of Winston Churchill ever published. Because this is the first biography of Churchill Ive read, I am unable to offer an opinion on the matter. What is clear to me, however, is that Robertss biography of Churchill is magisterial, impressively thorough and keenly perceptive. It also benefits from the authors access to personal papers and notes unavailable to previous biographers of Churchill.
Anyone familiar with Winston Churchills life will appreciate the difficulty inherent in compressing his remarkably eventful nine decades into a single volume. But Roberts seems to have accomplished the task with authority, clarity and precision.
