Description

New York Times Bestseller – When Winston Churchill was once born in Blenheim Palace in 1874, Imperial Britain stood at the splendid pinnacle of her power. Yet within a couple of years the Empire would hover on the point of catastrophe. Against this backdrop, a remarkable man started to build his legacy. From master biographer William Manchester, The Last Lion: Visions of Glory reveals the first fifty-eight years of the life of an adventurer, aristocrat, soldier, and statesman whose courageous leadership guided the destiny of his darkly troubled times—and who is remembered as probably the most greatest figures of the twentieth century.
