À propos de cet audio
In political office at the end of WWI, Churchill foresaw the folly of Versailles and feared what a crippled Germany would do to the balance of power. In his years in the political wilderness, from 1931 to 1939, he alone of all British public men, continually raised his voice against Hitler and his appeasers. For over 50 years, he was constantly involved in, and usually at the center of, the most important events of his age. It was, however, his obduracy on matters of principle, his fortitude in the face of opposition, and his perseverance in standing alone that defined him.

"[Manchester] can claim the considerable achievement of having assembled enough powerful evidence to support Isaiah Berlin's judgment of Churchill as the largest human being of our time." (Alistair Cooke)
Looked forward to every part.

That said ..
At one point the authour indicated that he didn't like writing history outside context. Superb. Just the right amount of context/background material.
I found that I can follow through Audible a biography of this size easier than reading. I find when I read, I skip a paragraph because it looks boring. But by listening not only can I not skip, but perhaps I find it is not boring at all. Lots of detail .. lots of information.
Now on to the second book.
