Paperback. Condition: Good. "The best Churchill biography [for] this generation . . . Even readers who know the basic story will find much that is new."--Newsweek In this powerful biography, the middle volume of William Manchester's critically acclaimed trilogy, Winston Churchill wages his defining campaign: not against Hitler's war machine but against his own reluctant countrymen. Manchester contends that even more than his leadership in combat, Churchill's finest hour was the uphill battle against appeasement. As Parliament received with jeers and scorn his warnings against the growing Nazi threat, Churchill stood alone--only to be vindicated by history as a beacon of hope amid the gathering storm.   Praise for The Last Lion: Alone   "Manchester has such control over a huge and moving narrative, such illumination of character . . . that he can claim the considerable achievement of having assembled enough powerful evidence to support Isaiah Berlin's judgment of Churchill as 'the largest human being of our time.'"--The New Yorker   "Memorable."--San Francisco Chronicle   "Stirring . . . As Manchester points out several times, it's as if the age, having produced a Hitler, then summoned Churchill as the only figure equal to the task of vanquishing him. The years Alone are the pivotal years of Churchill's career."--The Boston Sunday Globe    "A triumph . . . equal in stature to the first volume of the series."--Newsday   "Vivid . . . history in the grand manner."--The Washington Post   "Compelling reading."--The Times (London).…

Hardback. Condition: Good. The first volume in William Manchester's masterful, magnum opus account of Winston Churchill's life. The Last Lion: Visions of Glory follows the first fifty-eight years of Churchill's life--the years that mold him into the man who will become one of the most influential politicians of the twentieth century. In this, the first volume, Manchester follows Churchill from his birth to 1932, when he began to warn against the re-militarization of Germany. Born of an American mother and the gifted but unstable son of a duke, his childhood was one of wretched neglect. He sought glory on the battlefields of Cuba, Sudan, India, South Africa and the trenches of France. In Parliament he was the prime force behind the creation of Iraq and Jordan, laid the groundwork for the birth of Israel, and negotiated the independence of the Irish Free State. Yet, as Chancellor of the Exchequer he plunged England into economic crisis, and his fruitless attempt to suppress Gandhi's quest for Indian independence brought political chaos to Britain. Throughout, Churchill learned the lessons that would prepare him for the storm to come, and as the 1930's began, he readied himself for the coming battle against Nazism--an evil the world had never before seen.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. A #1 New York Times Bestseller, this biography of the legendary British Prime Minister explores his life in an era of rising fascism and encroaching war. "Told with skill and vivid anecdotes . the story continues to shock and horrify." --Time In Alone, the second volume of William Manchester's brilliant three-volume biography of Winston Churchill, we witness the war within, before the colossal war to come. During this period, Churchill was tested as few men are: relentlessly pursued by creditors, disowned by his own party, vociferously dismissed by the press as a warmonger, and twice nearly lost his seat in Parliament. Yet despite his personal and political troubles, Churchill managed to assemble a vast, underground intelligence network--both within the British government and on the continent--which provided him with more complete and accurate information on Germany than the British government. Recognizing the horrifying truth, Churchill stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the sordid British and French policy of appeasement. Manchester's luminous portrait never loses sight of Churchill the man--a man with limitations, especially his callousness toward others (including his supporters) and his recklessness, which could border on the foolhardy; but also a man whose vision was global and whose courage was boundless. Here is Churchill as a light in the approaching darkness, readying himself for the terrible stand to come. "Superb . Pulls together the multitudinous facts of one of the richest lives ever to be chronicled . Churchill and Manchester were clearly made for each other." --Chicago Tribune Book World The Last Lion biography trilogyThe Last Lion: Visions of Glory, 1874-1932 (#1)The Last Lion: Alone, 1932-1940 (#2)The Last Lion: Defender of the Realm, 1940-1965 (#3).…
