A memoir of Winston Churchill. It contains extracts from the candid diaries of Churchill`s doctor Lord Moran, his devoted friend and confidant, revealing how the great man faced up to and absorbed the strain of events during the war years, the tremendous burden of his responsibilities, and his extraordinary resolution.
