I was given a copy of Boris Johnsons book on Churchill The Churchill Factor. How One Man Made History for Christmas. To be honest I was not sure Id like it - and wondered what more there was to learn about Churchill. Although Id not paid a huge amount of attention to them, I gather the critics (certainly in the Guardian anyway gu/p/42nnj/stw) were a bit sneery about the whole venture. Well all I can say is that (cliche alert) I could not put it down. Inevitably the Boris/Winston parallels will be made - indeed I gather in the day the critics were pretty sneery about Winstons history books. All I can do is heartily recommend the book. Boris has managed to produce a highly readable rip-roaring perspective on the life of our greatest PM and I see nothing wrong in that.
