About this listen

In his short biography of Winston Churchill, author Peter Caddick-Adams writes that the recipe for Winston Churchill's success during his wartime premiership of 1940-45 can be found in the First World War.

He argues that Britain's survival under Churchill was precisely because the nation, and its leaders, had undergone a "dress rehearsal in 1914-18; conscription, rationing, convoys, air raids, mass production, women's uniformed services, coalitions and war cabinets. It had all happened before."

Churchill, who himself had served in war cabinets during the earlier world war, understood the art of the possible.

I’ve read several biographies of Churchill including those by Roberts, Jenkins, Best, Johnson and Charmley. I can confirm this latest book by Peter Caddick-Adams does not disappoint. It gallops along at pace retaining the listener’s interest and covering off everything you might expect it to. I particularly enjoyed the regular use of quotes both from the great man and others which help to bring the history alive. Having taught Churchill for over twenty years this will now be my go to recommendation for a book for my students to read or listen to. Get it, you won’t be disappointed.

An excellent short biography of Churchill
