Synopsis
Most people today think of Winston Churchill as simply the wartime British bulldog - a jowly, cigar-chomping old fighter demanding blood, sweat and tears from his nation. But the well-known story of the elder statesman has overshadowed an earlier part of his life that is no less fascinating, and that has never before been fully told. It is a tale of romance, ambition, intrigue and glamour in Edwardian London, when the city was the centre of the world, and when its best and brightest were dazzled by the meteoric rise to power of a young politician with a famous name and a long aristocratic background.

Review
""Young Titan" gives us an exciting, needed look at Winston Churchill in his years as a Liberal. Breaking with the Conservatives, he battled for better working conditions, for unemployment insurance, for improvements in education. He waged a two-front war: against the Tories on the right, the socialists on the left. It is the young Churchill at his best, a great foretelling of what was to come when Britain and the world needed him most."--Chris Matthews, author of "Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero" and anchor of MSNBC's "Hardball "
"Michael Shelden has done the nigh-impossible: he has found original things to say about the man Isaiah Berlin called 'the largest human being of our time'--Winston Churchill. In this entertaining and deeply researched book, Shelden paints a memorable portrait of the young Churchill's life and loves."--Jon Meacham, author of "American Lion"
"For history buffs, Winston Churchill is the gift that keeps on giving, and in "Young Titan" Michael Shelden has given us the gift of Churchill's fascinating formative years. It's all here--the boy wonder, adventurer, romantic, orator, and eloquent man in the arena. I didn't want it to end."--Tom Brokaw, author of "The Greatest Generation"
