註釋A definitive chronicle of Churchill’s crucial role in the major military campaigns of the 20th century, based on extensive, untapped archival materials.

Warlord is the definitive chronicle of Churchill’s crucial role as one of the world’s most renowned military leaders, from his early adventures on the North-West Frontier of colonial India and the Boer War through his extraordinary service in both world wars. Using extensive, untapped archival materials, Carlo D’Este illuminates Churchill’s character as never before, exploring his strategies behind the major military campaigns of World War I and World War II—both his dazzling successes and disastrous failures—while also revealing his tumultuous relationships with his generals and other commanders, including Dwight D. Eisenhower.

As riveting as the man it portrays, Warlord is a masterful, unsparing portrait of one of history’s most fascinating and influential leaders during what was arguable the most crucial event in human history.
