Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white photographs and color photographs. "The career of the man for whom flags flew at half mast on the steeples of Westminster Palace had the bigger-than-life quality of an epic. But Winston Churchill was a warm and very human being. No one was stronger in loyalty to friends, quicker to be moved to tears or to bubble with laughter. His character blended whimsy and sentiment with unquenchable courage and a fierce exaltation in battle. The story of his life was intertwined with the story of his time, for he was deeply involved in all the great affairs of the century that began when he was in his twenties: two global wars of unprecedented carnage, the collapse of great empires, the rise and fall of new ideologies, the advent of the scientific society. Indeed, it is impossbile to talk for long of the 20th Century without speaking his name. Whether being howled down in the House of Commons for stating an unpalatable truth or standing resolutely at the head of an all but disarmed natin and defying the mightiest war machine of the time, he was at the center of the storm. This Newsbook records in text and pictures the story of the unforgettable Sir Winston Churchill, beginning with the majext ci state ceremonies which held the world's attention at the end of January, 1965." - from the Introductory Page.
