With penetrating insight and vivid anecdotes, Gretchen Rubin makes Churchill accessible and meaningful to twenty-first-century readers by analyzing the many contrasting views of the man: he was an alcoholic, he was not; he was an anachronism, he was a visionary; he was a racist, he was a humanitarian; he was the most quotable man in the history of the English language, he was a bore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike no other portrait of its famous subject, \u003cb\u003e Forty Ways to Look at Winston Churchill \u003c\/b\u003eis a dazzling display of facts more improbable than fiction.
