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" -- $c Amazon. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Churchill, Winston, $d 1874-1965. 600 10 $a Churchill, Winston, $d 1874-1965 $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Prime ministers $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political leadership $x Psychological aspects. 941 $a 4 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010609.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502014253.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240305011515.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240302010443.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D807238AC19D11EEA89D2B6520ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
