Subject: Churchill, Winston, -- 1874-1965. Prime ministers -- Great Britain -- Biography. Great Britain -- Politics and government -- 1945-1964. Summary: This book, written by an award-winning author and journalist, looks at the Winston Churchill that Americans tend to hear very little about - Churchill's second term as Prime Minister. The book focuses entirely on the internal politics of Churchill's relationship with his own party, and his relationship with (and sometimes against) the American Presidents as he worked to orchestrate an East-West conference with Joseph Stalin, that he thought only he could successfully pull off. The most interesting contention of the author seemed to be that Churchill was never a “party man” and his policies were often self-seeking and detrimental to the Conservative Party in general.
