'Mr Roberts's narrative account of the crucial
months grips and convinces. His account of Halifax's great
service to his country . is considerably more convincing that
Churchill's own highly-coloured account.'
Andrew
Marr, The Economist
'Roberts possesses
all the spirit and daring of youth . He has written an uncommonly
good, combative biography.'
Anthony
Howard, The Sunday Times
'It is quite a life,
and in Andrew Roberts the life has found quite a
biographer - elegant, sometimes funny, splendidly in control
of his sources.'
Norman
Stone, The Guardian
'The story is brilliantly
told . Andrew Roberts combines a skilled use of sources with
dashing, Macaulayesque narrative assurance.'
Michael Foot, The Observer
