＂[Reid''s] palpable enthusiasm at thinking about Churchill
demonstrates once again...the grip this iconic figure can still
exercise on the imagination....Reid...use[s] his journalist''s eye
to pick up on small details or points of color that illustrate a
wider truth.＂ Richard Aldous, New York Times Book
Review
＂Masterful.... It was worth the wait.... The collaboration
completes the Churchill portrait in a seamless manner, combining
the detailed research, sharp analysis and sparkling prose
內容簡介：
Spanning the years of 1940-1965, THE LAST LION picks up
shortly after Winston Churchill became Prime Minister-when his tiny
island nation stood alone against the overwhelming might of Nazi
Germany. The Churchill conjured up by William Manchester and Paul
Reid is a man of indomitable courage, lightning fast intellect, and
an irresistible will to action. THE LAST LION brilliantly recounts
how Churchill organized his nation''s military response and defense;
compelled FDR into supporting America''s beleaguered cousins, and
personified the "never surrender" ethos that helped the Allies win
the war, while at the same time adapting himself and his country to
the inevitable shift of world power from the British Empire to the
United States.
More than twenty years in the making, THE LAST LION presents a
revelatory and unparalleled portrait of this brilliant, flawed, and
dynamic leader. This is popular history at its most stirring.
