In conclusion, we experience Churchill's last years, when he faces the end of his life with the same courage he brought to every battle he ever fought. And after his triumphant return to 10 Downing Street, we follow him as he pursues his final policy goal: a summit with President Dwight Eisenhower and Soviet leaders. The result is The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, Defender of the Realm 1940-1965, a 1,000-plus-page study of Churchill’s life from his appointment as prime minister in 1940 until his. We witness Churchill, driven from office, warning the world of the coming Soviet menace. In brilliant prose and informed by decades of research, William Manchester and Paul Reid recount how Churchill organized his nation's military response and defence, convinced FDR to support the cause, and personified the "never surrender" ethos that helped win the war. Spanning the years 1940 to 1965, The Last Lion: Defender of the Realm, 1940-1965 begins shortly after Winston Churchill became prime minister-when Great Britain stood alone against the overwhelming might of Nazi Germany. The collaboration completes the Churchill portrait in a seamless manner, combining the detailed research, sharp analysis and sparkling prose that readers of the first two volumes have come to expect." - Associated Press
