A biographical study of Winston Churchill's post-war fame and reputation, what he was thought to stand for and how that reputation was constructed. The book examines how Churchill's personality, attitudes, and vision of himself have affected our own political perception of ourselves as a nation, and argues that his romantic, imperial notion of Britain has contributed directly to many of the political debates of recent years - particularly our attitudes in Europe.
