Mirrors of Greatness: Churchill and the Leaders Who Shaped Him

<p>Churchill fought the war twice over - as Prime Minister and again as its premier historian. In 1948-54 he published six volumes of memoirs which secured his reputation and shaped our understanding of the conflict to this day. Using the drafts and correspondence for The Second World War, David Reynolds opens our eyes to Churchill the author and to the research 'syndicate' on whom he depended. We see how the memoirs were censored by Whitehall to conceal secrets such as the codebreakers at Bletchley Park, and how Churchill himself censored them to avoid offending current world leaders. This book forces us to reconsider much received wisdom about the war and illuminates an unjustly neglected period of his life - the Second Wilderness Years of 1945-51, when Churchill, now over seventy, wrote himself into history, politicked himself back into Downing Street and delivered some of the most important speeches of his career.</p>

'A beautiful meditation on the nature of families, on the way that feelings are passed on almost imperceptibly from generation to generation' Independent'Swan River is a lovingly crafted story about love, truth and searching, and David Reynolds is a writer of calm, quite brilliance' Daily Express Sis - as David Reynolds' grandmother was always called - was a passionate and headstrong young woman. Having betrayed herself by falling in love too trustingly, she added to her own unhappiness by marrying a man she did not love at all. Throughout his childhood and youth David Reynolds kept an eye on the past, entranced by these family stories from Victorian London - the music halls, the romances, the strange disappearance of his grandfather - even as he himself came of age in the vibrant 1960s. In Swan River he describes both worlds with great vitality and sympathy, and shows how a child's puzzled interest in his forebears deepens into an adult's understanding of human nature. 'For me, David Reynold's memoir Swan River stood head and shoulders above every other book this year. It's nothing like the usual slab of autobiography... The material is crafted and shaped with the artistry that we would expect from our best fiction writers' Jonathan Coe, Independent Books of the Year
