The making of Winston Churchill : The New Yorker

Seven swell-written internet pages on somebody who fascinates us all, most of whose memorable moments occurred during his life’s Act III.

Reading all these, one finds a Churchill who is a good deal more compelling than the eternal iron man. Goethe wrote that Hamlet was a man who was asked to do something that seemed impossible for that man to do. Churchill is a kind of Hamlet in reverse, a man who was called on, late in life, to do the one thing he was uniquely able to do, and did it.
