6/4/2023 0 Comments Churchill walking with destinyI think the most important aspect of this book is that it draws on materials that have not been available to historians and researchers until very recently. Roberts presents evidence and arguments that have led me to re-evaluate not just Churchill’s actions during World War II and the Cold War, but also the roles of Britain, the Commonwealth, and other nations. The fact that my reading this book coincided with the commemoration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of many of the closing acts of World War II in Europe also delayed my writing this review. It took me a while to come to terms with some of these long-held opinions and evaluate them against the new evidence that Roberts provides. Churchill-Walking with Destiny challenged many of the notions I have had of Churchill since I was a young student of history. There are a few reasons why it has taken me so long. It has taken me quite a while to sit down and write this review of Andrew Roberts’ remarkable biography of Winston Churchill.
