I have read over a dozen Churchill biographies and have most of the books which he wrote, which I am working my way through.I found this a compelling read because I knew very little of Churchill's life after World War 2. It gives insight into Churchill’s waning days as Prime Minister as well as his interaction with Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Stalin, Atlee, Eden, etc...I think it as fascinating read..
Very well written, moves along at a good pace. Names , titles and positions are explained and tie into the story very neatly. If you are not familiar with England's parliamentary process, it is simply explained and you will come away with basic understanding of the system. I recommend this book to history enthusiasts.
Great Author - Great Read - The history of Churchill's last years in power does make one wonder if we should allow our leaders that much power. Churchill did not know when to quit for his own good and his country's good. And Leaming tells the story well.
unread
Barbara Leaming's "Churchill Defiant" is a highly personalized partial biography of the great man which takes up where in most people's minds today Churchill's public life ended - in 1945, as Germany was defeated and the Conservatives were turned out of office. The book is a great read and provides a very different look at Churchill, but is heavily focused on Churchill's personal life, struggles with his health and personal interactions with others at the expense of his public life during this period, during part of which, after all, he became prime minister again. This seems to follow from Leaming's interests - she has written several biographies of celebrities, but the only one I have read is her book on John Kennedy's life in Britain. It is also quite personal, but at least that was a period before Kennedy became president.The 300-page book begins with Churchill touring Hitler's bunker in 1945, then being thrown out of office in the first chapter. The next nine chapters, about a third of the book, are devoted to Churchill as opposition leader, 1945-1951. Much of the focus is on his health, his travels and the intrigues of those within the Tory Party who wanted him to retire. The remainder deals with his second premiership, 1951-1955. In dealing with Churchill's public life, Leaming focuses primarily on Churchill's Moby Dick-like quest for a summit of the "Big Three."I have several Churchill books and am a big fan, but frankly he doesn't come off well here. Leaming presents Churchill post-1945 as obsessed with being in office, driven by a single-minded determination that he and only he could bring about world peace by representing Britain at another summit with Stalin, entirely oblivious to the fact that he was semi-incapacitated (or entirely so) for periods. From having read Roy Jenkins' biography I know there was more substance to Churchill's actions during this period than Leaming includes, but she is basically right. Churchill's long-suffering heir apparent, Foreign Minister Anthony Eden, doesn't come off well either, for much the same reasons (his health - despite being much younger). It is fortunate that Britain faced no security crises during 1953, for there was a period when it was governed by two invalids.The yawning gap in this story is what was going on in Churchill's world aside from his struggle to get back into, and then stay in, office. The almost total lack of information about what was happening in Britain during this period, combined with the wealth of material on his relations with Truman and Eisenhower, is probably the result of Leaming's - or her publisher's - focus on the American book market. We read that Britons faced austerity, and that the Labour Party when in office tried to socialize the country. That is it. Although Leaming notes that Churchill was not very interested in domestic affairs, this is not good historiography.American readers will be on firmer ground in filling in the blanks on the international scene, but Leaming almost gives the impression that Churchill's entire foreign policy was restricted to corresponding with Eisenhower and checking in with the Soviets to see if Stalin was feeling up to a summit. We learn more about Stalin's health problems than Soviet foreign policy. There is a fair amount on the uproar caused by a Churchill statement in the U.S. about Korea following the cessation of hostiles, but not a word about whether Britain was even involved in the war (they were, of course) and how they might have gotten themselves involved in it. There are references to Eisenhower's desire to get an "Austrian treaty" from the Soviets before agreeing to a summit, but no explanation as to what might be going on in Austria such as to require one.These material omissions matter because they make it impossible to reach a judgment on the primary topic of public affairs discussed in the book - Churchill's negotiating strategy vis-Ã -vis the USSR. But that was not Leaming's purpose here anyway. She obviously found the personal story compelling - and it is - but she doesn't get much beyond it.Overall, this book is worth buying for Churchill aficionados as it is well written from a literary standpoint and fills a gap in the Churchill literature, at least for the general public. But if you don't have a good hold on early Cold War history, you'll get a better perspective on Churchill's role as a statesman during his second trip up the greasy pole from reading something else.
A great book !!
ms leaming talks about the struggle that churchill had in his last active decade to promote a summit with the russians . refused by both truman and even more so by eisenhower . the style of writing is good but not great and too much emphasis is placed on churchill health. but . it covers winston churchill last active decade correctly.
This is not the book to read for one's first exposure to the life of Sir Winston Churchill.Here the author describes Churchill's political life in the frayed decade following World War II. The complications of age and health play a large part of Barbara Leaming's story, as do the varied attempts by those of a younger generation, mainly a weak Anthony Eden, to succeed the elderly Churchill to power in post-war Great Britain.Another strand of the story is the friction between the Churchill and Eisenhower over policy towards the USSR.I think Ms. Leaming's account pertaining to Churchill's tenuous efforts at keeping himself in the game for a potential super power summit is too simplistic, while her lengthy account of the jockeying for leadership within the Conservative Party is tedious for the present day reader. This is not a full scholarly account of the times, but more of a highly selective view by a reasonably informed journalist.As there are a ton of good books on Winston Churchill, a most interesting historical figure and great man, I question why a general reader would choose this one.
