The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History
`He writes with gusto...the result is a book that is never boring, genuinely clever.. .this book sizzles.` The Times `The must-read biography of the year.` Evening Standard `The point of the Churchill Factor is that one man can make all the difference.` Marking the fiftieth anniversary of Winston Churchill`s death, Boris Johnson explores what makes up the `Churchill Factor` - the singular brilliance of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays - with characteristic wit and passion-a man of multiple contradictions, contagious bravery, breath-taking eloquence, matchless strategizing, and deep humanity. Fearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the King to stay out
of action on D-Day; he pioneered aerial bombing, yet hated the destruction of war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was a celebrated journalist, a great orator and won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was famous for his ability to combine wining and dining with many late nights of crucial wartime decision-making.His open-mindedness made him a pioneer in health care, education, and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect. Most of all, as Boris Johnson says, `Churchill is the resounding human rebuttal to all who think history is the story of vast and impersonal economic forces`. THE CHURCHILL FACTOR is a book to be enjoyed not only by anyone interested in history: it is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what
makes a great leader.
