Summary

Churchill: A Life follows Winston Churchill from his earliest days to his moments of triumph. Here, the drama and excitement of his story are ever-present. Martin Gilbert gives us a vivid portrait, using Churchill's most personal letters and the recollections of his contemporaries, both friends and enemies, to go behind the scenes of some of the stormiest and most fascinating political events of our time.

Part 2 takes us from the end of the First World War to Churchill’s death in 1965. Christian Rodska reads the second part of Martin Gilbert’s epic, definitive biography of Winston Churchill.

Outstanding - Brings Churchill to life.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Fascinating life, I would definitely recommend it.

Which character – as performed by Christian Rodska – was your favourite?

Christian Rodska is uncanny in the way he portrays Churchill.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I felt it difficult to put down, but looked forward to every new sitting.

What a story!

An incredible story of an incredible man. The narration was outstanding and brought this story to life. I recommend these two volumes highly.

Entertaining and educational, ok I’m biased but wow! The norms of the times notwithstanding, very inspiring.

Again, what a man of his times.

Enchanting

An amazing biography about an amazing leader that gives you some deeper insight into the second world war. Of course no one is perfect but as close as one can get.
