Items related to Churchill at War 1940-45
A memoir of Winston Churchill. It contains extracts from the candid diaries of Churchill's doctor Lord Moran, his devoted friend and confidant, revealing how the great man faced up to and absorbed the strain of events during the war years, the tremendous burden of his responsibilities, and his extraordinary resolution. Moran's keen observation, sensitivity, truth and insight should shed light on Churchill's conduct and personality. We hear of his weaknesses as well as his strengths: his rages, his jokes and salty comments, his occasional foolishness, and his rare cattiness. Moran also records details of other world figures, as well as the historic events in which Churchill played so momentous a part.

About the Author:
Lord Moran was awarded the MC during the Battle of the Somme during WWI, became doctor to Churchill in 1940, and in 1945 published his classic book on men under the stress of war, The Anatomy of Courage.
Review:
Not only is it Churchill who emerges as a full and rich human character from these diaries. Lord Moran, met, with Churchill, all the great men of the Western Alliance, watched them, and pinned them down in his pages. Whether he is discussing Stalin or Bernard Baruch, he always has something new, something wise, something memorable to say.' - Saturday Review; 'This is Churchill in his slippers, off-guard. But how little history would tell us if its great figures were shown only in their public attitudes!' - Daily Express; 'It will be long before the controversy over this astonishing book dies down; and when it does, its record as a portrait of a great spirit will stand out even more clearly. * The Sunday Times * Unique pleasure is the doctor's eye for Churchill's human foibles and ear for the tang of his speech . . . * Wall Street Journal * Unique value . . .and brilliance of Lord Moran's memoir * Alistair Cooke, Wall Street Journal * An invaluable contribution to the library of Churchill books. * Good Book Guide *
