Thanks to NetGalley and Pen & Sword for the digital ARC of this book. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Even though I've got quite a bit of WWII fatigue in terms of my reading, I couldn't resist requesting this book. Included in its pages are 100 items, either that Churchill owned or ephemera like newspapers or posters that related to the man. I found the book quite interesting as I've read quite a few biographies on Churchill and plan to tackle some of his written work. It was enlightening to see things like Chartwell and a whole church moved from Great Britain to the United States, as well as the final resting place of Churchill's nanny, and where he proposed to Clementine.
Controversial or not these days, Churchill did save the western world and was probably the greatest influence upon the 20th century.
Perfect for anyone interested in Churchill, and his times. A wide variety of objects from HMS Belfast to cigars to Chartwell, and beyond - some big and some tiny. A very enjoyable read, and easy to dip in and out of.
Recommended.
