Reviews

"[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"

"A triumph...Equal in stature to the first volume of the series."-- "Newsday"

"Manchester is not only a master of detail but also of 'the big picture'...I daresay most Americans reading The Last Lion will relish it immensely."-- "National Review"

"The second volume in Manchester's masterly three-part biography...limns as well as lionizes the aging Tory during his political exile...An eloquent and evenhanded appreciation."-- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"

"William Machester gives us a revealing portrait of a world about to come to a boil and a man about to become a symbol of of time."-- "David Willis McCullough"
