Beoordelingen
Synopsis uitgever
Ramsden gives us a wry, readable, and comprehensive study of the depth and roots of Churchill's legacy. Library Journal With meticulous research, Ramsden explores the way in which Churchill projected himself throughout the world after 1945, how that self-projection was received, and how well it has stood the test of time...The book clearly and logically deduces how his fame was created, perceived, and marketed. -- George Cohen Booklist A thorough and careful scholarly exploration of the 'Churchill Legend' as it took shape after 1945... Ramsden extends his examination of Churchill's postwar apotheosis beyond Britain to Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the US, where an Americanized Churchill still bulks large in public discourse. This fine book helps explain why. Highly recommended [for] all libraries. Choice Ramsden is a highly talented historian at the peak of his prowess. Scotland on Sunday Ramsden is a canny historian... He is a master of the illuminating detail... The result is an excellent piece of sustained scholarship as well as a good read. Literary Review A marvellously informative and splendidly written account of the mythologising of Churchill. BBC History Magazine This book is a must: a tour d'horizon of all things Churchill by the dean of Conservative Party historians. Only John Ramsden with his encyclopedic knowledge of twentieth-century British politics could have produced this magnificent work. -- David Freeman International Churchill Society Magazine Man of the Century is an impressive scholarly achievement, well written and convincingly argued... a provocative book, one that Churchill scholars will find essential. -- Michael H. Shirley History: Reviews of New Books Ramsden's study is a worthy addition to the growing Churchill literature. He succeeds in putting the Churchill legend and myth in historical perspective. -- John Rossi Society Meer lezen...
