Churchill, Master and Commander: Winston Churchill at War 1895–1945

This book provides a detailed examination of Winston Churchill's military career, from his early experiences in Britain's colonial wars to his strategic command in World War II.

The author explores how Churchill got it both right and wrong in high office, including his personal direction of the war effort and defiance of generals' advice.
