Summary: Written and presented by Martin Gilbert, Sir Winston Churchill's official biographer and the author of "Churchill: A Life", "The Complete Churchill" is a treasury of rare newsreel clips and interviews with Churchill's family, staff, and political contemporaries, both the supporters and the detractors. The first volume surveys Churchill's early life through his schooling, the Boer Wars, the First World War, and his lecture tour in America. Volumes 2 through 4 trace the bold and eloquent British statesman's determined leadership as he guides Britain through one of her most vulnerable periods, the Second World War. This series provides enough interviews and never-before-seen footage to interest the most avid Churchill enthusiast while presenting history buffs and neophytes with a balanced portrait of this pivotal historical figure's public and private personas.
