The Man of the Century - John Ramsden
KORTE INHOUD
This portrait of Churchill after World War II examines the development of his fame and the construction of his posthumous reputation. It discusses how Churchill's personality, attitudes and vision of himself have affected our own political perception of ourselves as a nation and argues that his romantic, imperial notion of Britain has contributed directly to many of the political debates of contemporary times - particularly our attitudes in Europe. Rather than a dry political analysis, this title is a biographical study of the man who found himself described as the prized possession of the whole world, and of the whole Churchill phenomenon.
