Synopsis
The second volume of William Manchester's masterful account of Winston Churchill's life. Alone is the second volume of William Manchester's brilliant three-volume biography of Winston Churchill. In this volume, we witness the war within, before the colossal war to come. During this period, Churchill was tested as few men are: relentlessly pursued by creditors, disowned by his own party, vociferously dismissed by the press as a warmonger, and twice nearly lost his seat in Parliament. Yet despite his personal and political troubles, Churchill managed to assemble a vast, underground intelligence network-both within the British government and on the continent-which provided him with more complete and accurate information on Germany than the British government. Recognizing the horrifying truth, Churchill stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the sordid British and French policy of appeasement. Manchester's luminous portrait never loses sight of Churchill the man-a man with limitations, especially his callousness toward others (including his supporters) and his recklessness, which could border on the foolhardy; but also a man whose vision was global and whose courage was boundless. Here is Churchill as a light in the approaching darkness, readying himself for the terrible stand to come.

      The GIANT of GIANTS in modern times

      Had Winston Spenser Churchil been listened to in the 30s, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WORLD WAR II. The Last Lion is in three volumes, 1874 to 1930, 1932 to 1940 and 1940 to 1965. I you truly want to understand WW II volumes 2 and 3 areyour best bet. Volume 1 introduces you to the greatest fighter for freedom that I have studied. note, he was considered crazy for his concept of a land cruiser. It became known as the TANK.

    • Alone is very accurate as Churchill was indeed that voice in the wilderness warning of the dangers that were coming!

      This is a great account of that critical period of history where Churchill was warning everyone of the dangers that Nazi Germany represented! An excellent narrative worth reading again and again remembering that History not learned will be destined to be repeated!
