Meet Churchill. 90 Encounters with a Man Hidden by Legend

History is not just dates and events, but also the people whose destinies intersect at key moments in time.

The book offers a unique perspective on the personality of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill through the memories of the people he... encountered throughout his life. Among them are the codebreakers of Bletchley Park, Hollywood stars such as Charlie Chaplin, writers Herbert Wells and P.G. Wodehouse, and political leaders including Mahatma Gandhi and Dwight Eisenhower.

These encounters reveal Churchill from unexpected sides: sometimes he impresses with his wit and charisma, while at other times he displays a complex character and explosive temperament. The book spans several eras—from Victorian England to the atomic age—and shows how Churchill himself and the world around him changed.

"Meet Churchill" is not just a biography, but a vivid, multifaceted portrait of one of the most influential people of the 20th century, painted through the impressions and memories of those who knew him personally.
