What Churchill wrote of his youth summed up his entire life. From the time he graduated from Sandhurst in 1894 into a world that opened to him “like Aladdin’s cave,” “he never had time to turn round.” His life became “like an endless moving picture in which one was an actor. On the whole Great Fun!” What Churchill neglected to mention was that in the moving picture of his life he was not merely an actor but the star.

Warlord is less about events and more about Churchill the man: his leadership, his triumphs, and his failures. While there is—of necessity—a certain level of selectivity, on balance the reader will find it a faithful account of an extraordinary military life that encompassed most of the seminal events of the twentieth century, culminating in the greatest, most devastating war in the history of planet Earth.
