Review: Outstanding piece of literature. - Outstanding piece of literature ! This book is exceptionally well written , detailed and highly and easily readable. In particular the first 50 pages or so, give the very best overview of Winston Churchill that I have have ever read, anywhere. These first introductory pages are superbly written, and give any reader a short, but highly comprehensive insight into this great man. The book thereafter is in chronological order, starting at his appointment as Prime Minister. As well covering all the many aspects of the progress of the war, the book contains intriguing accounts of the machinations of British politics throughout this hectic period. It regularly surprises the reader with additional "tit bits" about Churchill, his whims and fancies, as well as explaining his many controversial decisions. This really is a comprehensive book. It is part of a trilogy true, but frankly anyone interesed in discovering just what Churchill represented, how he conducted himself, how he dealt with so many controversial issues - and there were dozens and dozens of these during the 6 years of war - should at least read this single volume. It is never dry, never dull, never boring. It entertains, informs and draws admiration for this huge figure of British life, culture and above all, history. Apart from the occasional "Americanism " in the written word - eg.,"railroad" instead of "railway" etc. - this book is without fault. Excellent reading and VERY highly recommended
Review: An engrossing history of Churchill and WW2 - One could say that The Last Lion : Defender of the Realm is as much a history of the Second World War as it is a biography of Churchill during this period. The war and its aftermath are covered in a dramatic writing style with a focus on Churchill’s role and how he viewed and impacted the events. The authors strike a good balance between the historical events and the personal details, such that the history is brought to life. It is a long book but fast-paced, well-written and never dull. The 2012 hardcover edition is a substantial high-quality volume.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read. A little on the long side.
*by J***. on 17 January 2013*

Based onthis book which ends the trilogy, I bought the first two that i have only skimmed, but look equally good. you need a lot of free time to wade through this trilogy, but it is worthwhile if you enjoy history with a capital H.
