*THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*
'A stunning tour de force' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
'Genuinely clever... this book sizzles.' THE TIMES
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson takes on Winston Churchill - a biography like no other.
Brexit, pandemic, economic crisis: Boris Johnson's leadership was an extraordinary period in recent British history, and his inspiration has always been Winston Churchill.
In this book, he explores what makes up the 'Churchill Factor' - the singular brilliance of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays - with characteristic wit and passion - a man of multiple contradictions, contagious bravery, breath-taking eloquence, matchless strategizing and deep humanity.
Fearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the King to stay out of action on D-Day; he embraced large-scale strategic bombing, yet hated the destruction of war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was a celebrated journalist, a great orator and won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was famous for his ability to combine wining and dining with many late nights of crucial wartime decision-making. His open-mindedness made him a pioneer in healthcare, education and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect.
Written by Boris Johnson in 2014 and published in association with Churchill Heritage, The Churchill Factor is essential listening for anyone who wants to know what makes a great leader in a time of crisis.

colourfully written, thought provoking
A well written captivating listen. I will say Boris was too apologetic on the awful, one sided treatment of the Jews by Britain under the hand of Bevin. If The Nation of Israel had not miraculously survived, Britain would have had a second holocaust this time on their hands!
