Title: The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, Vol. 2: Alone, 1932–1940 Author: William Manchester Narrator: Richard Brown Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 36 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 1, 1990 Genres: Law & Politics Publisher's Summary: This second volume in William Manchester’s three-volume biography of Winston Churchill challenges the assumption that Churchill’s finest hour was as a wartime leader. During the years 1932–1940, he was tested as few men are. Pursued by creditors (at one point he had to put up his home for sale), he remained solvent only by writing an extraordinary number of books and magazine articles. He was disowned by his own party, dismissed by the BBC and Fleet Street and the social and political establishments as a warmonger, and twice nearly lost his seat in Parliament. Churchill stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the British and French pusillanimous policy of appeasement. Manchester tracks with new insights this complex, fascinating history without ever losing sight of Churchill the man, a man whose vision was global and whose courage was boundless.
