Winston S.Churchill, Volume III
The Challenge of War, 1914-1916
Description
When Randolph Churchill died in 1968, he had completed the first two volumes of this multi-volume biography of his father. Martin Gilbert, an Oxford historian who had been one of Randolph’s researchers, was asked to take on the completion of the biography. This volume (number three of the eight volumes of narrative biography) was published in 1971, and brought back into print by Hillsdale College Press in 2008.
“What about the Dardanelles?” This was the cry which Churchill was to hear so often between the two world wars. It epitomised the distrust with which he was widely held as a result of the naval setback at the Dardanelles in March 1915, and the eventual failure of the Gallipoli landings launched the following month. By examining in detail the complex evolution of British war policy, this volume shows that the precise nature of Churchill’s involvement and responsibility differed greatly from what his contemporaries believed and from what quickly become popularly accepted.

The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill
Trilogy of biographies covering the life of Winston Churchill
The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill is a trilogy of biographies covering the life of Winston Churchill. The first two were published in the 1980s by author and historian William Manchester, who died while working on the last volume. Before his death in 2004, Manchester selected Paul Reid to complete it, and the final volume was published in 2012.
Manchester suffered for several years from two strokes following the death of his wife in 1998. The strokes severely impaired his ability to write, making him unable to complete the third volume. After completing about 100,000 words of the volume he agreed to consider working with a collaborator,[1] ultimately settling on Paul Reid, a former feature writer for Cox Newspapers to complete the work.[2]
Volumes:
- Visions of Glory, 1874–1932 (973 pages, published in 1983)
- Alone, 1932–1940 (756 pages, published in 1988)
- Defender of the Realm, 1940–1965 (1232 pages, published in 2012, completed by Paul Reid after Manchester's death)
