The Churchill portrayed by Manchester and Reid is a man of indomitable courage, lightning-fast intellect, and an irresistible will to action. This volumebrilliantly recounts how Churchill organized his nations military response and defense, compelled President Roosevelt to support Americas beleaguered cousins, and personified the "never surrender" ethos that helped the Allies win the war, while at the same time adapting himself and his country to the inevitable shift of world power from the British Empire to the United States. More than 20 years in the making,The Last Lionpresents a revelatory and unparalleled portrait of this brilliant, flawed, and dynamic leader. This is popular history at its most stirring. Critic Reviews: "Before his death in 2004, an ill Manchester asked former Cox newspapers journalist Reid to take his research notes and finish writing the final volume of his trilogy. The long-delayed majestic account of Winston Churchills last 25 years is worth the wait. Manchester matches the outstanding quality of biographers such as Robert Caro and Edmund Morris, joining this elite bank of writers who devote their lives to one subject." (Publishers Weekly) "General readers, as always, will be taken by [Manchester's] boundless abilities as a storyteller. Essential for Manchester collectors, WWII buffs, and Churchill completists." (Kirkus Reviews) "A big book but reads easily. The finished book is a worthy conclusion to what must be considered one of the most thorough treatments of Churchill so far produced. An essential conclusion to Manchester's magnum opus." (Library Journal)
