Description
The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History Boris Johnson's leadership has been shaped by one man: Winston Churchill. In this biography, Johnson explores the 'Churchill Factor' - the unique blend of qualities that made Churchill a great leader. With characteristic wit and passion, Johnson portrays a man of contradictions, from his bravery on the battlefield to his deep humanity. Churchill's life was marked by multiple contradictions, from his love of large-scale strategic bombing to his hatred of the destruction of war. He was a celebrated journalist, a great orator, and won the Nobel Prize for Literature, yet remained incorrigibly politically incorrect. Johnson takes on the myths and misconceptions surrounding Churchill, revealing a complex and multifaceted individual. Published in association with Churchill Heritage, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who wants to understand what makes a great leader in a time of crisis.
