The Last Lion

This trilogy presents a detailed and revelatory portrait of Winston Churchill.

The volumes cover his life from 1874 to 1965, including his early years ('Visions of Glory, 1874-1932'), his political isolation and warnings about the Nazi threat ('Alone, 1932-1940'), and his leadership during World War II and the post-war period ('Defender of the Realm, 1940-1965').

The final volume was completed by Paul Reid based on Manchester's research and notes after Manchester's death.
