Churchill: Four faces and the man - A.J.P. Taylor, Robert Rhodes James, J.H. Plumb, Basil Liddell Hart and Anthony Storr

Five eminent writers explore five different aspects of Winston Churchill's life to compose a thorough assessment of his remarkable career.

The Statesman

'Essentially he stood alone: neither Tory no Liberal, aristocrat nor democrat, simply Winston Churchill the statesman' - A.J.P. Taylor

The politicians 

'It is in no way to belittle his formidable intellect to state that it was principally applied to the meeting of immediate situations rather than with anticipating future ones' - Robert Rhodes James

The historian

'On the verge of war, he advised Hitler to study English history so that he might ponder what would very likely be his fate - J.H. Plumb

The military strategist

'No-one can read (his minutes) without marvelling at his fertility, versatility and vitality' - Basil Liddell Hart

The man

'What England needed was not a shrewd, equable, balanced leader. She needed a prophet, an heroic visionary... Winston Churchill was such a man' - Anthony Storr
