A propos de cet article

New York: Random House, November 2005. Hardcover. First U.S. Edition (stated / full number line). Fine book in a Very Good jacket. Unmarked. Spine straight and tight. Jacket clean and bright, but clipped. Not from a library. No remainder mark. xxiv + 631 pages. Winston Churchill was one of the giants of the twentieth century. As Britain's prime minister from 1940 to 1945, he courageously led his nation and the world away from appeasement, into war, and on to triumph over the Axis dictators. His classic six-volume account of those years, The Second World War, has shaped our perceptions of the conflict and secured Churchill's place as its most important chronicler. Now, for the first time, a book explains how Churchill wrote this masterwork, and in the process enhances and often revises our understanding of one of history's most complex, vivid, and eloquent leaders. In Command of History sheds new light on Churchill in his multiple, often overlapping roles as warrior, statesman, politician, and historian. Citing excerpts from the drafts and correspondence for Churchill's magnum opus, David Reynolds opens our eyes to the myriad forces that shaped its final form. We see how Churchill's manuscripts were vetted by Whitehall to conceal secrets such as the breaking of the Enigma code by British spymasters at Bletchley Park, and how Churchill himself edited the volumes to avoid offending postwar statesmen such as Tito, Charles de Gaulle, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. We explore his confusions about the true story of the atomic bomb, learn of his second thoughts about Stalin, and watch him repackage himself as a consistent advocate of the D-Day landings. …
