Publisher's Summary

A new biography of Winston Churchill, revealing how his relationships with the other great figures of his age shaped his own triumphs and failures as a leader

Winston Churchill remains one of the most revered figures of the twentieth century, his name a byword for courageous leadership. But the Churchill we know today is a mixture of history and myth, authored by the man himself. In Mirrors of Greatness, prizewinning historian David Reynolds reevaluates Churchill&s life by viewing it through the eyes of his allies and adversaries, even his own family, revealing Churchill&s lifelong struggle to overcome his political failures and his evolving grasp of what “greatness” truly entailed.

Through his dealings with Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain, we follow Churchill&s triumphant campaign against Nazi Germany. But we also see a Churchill whose misjudgments of allies and rivals like Roosevelt, Stalin, Gandhi, and Clement Attlee blinded him to the British Empire&s waning dominance on the world stage and to the rising popularity of a postimperial, socialist vision of Great Britain at home.

Magisterial and incisive, Mirrors of Greatness affords Churchill his due as a figure of world-historical importance and deepens our understanding of his legend by uncovering the ways his greatest contemporaries helped make him the man he was, for good and for ill.
