Book SynopsisWritten by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in 2014, The Churchill Factor is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what makes a great leader in a time of crisis.
Trade ReviewThe must-read biography of the year. * Evening Standard *
Genuinely clever... this book sizzles. * The Times *
Churchill's own energy - his indefatigable pursuit of excitement, glory, place and power - demands a writer of fizz and passion to do history justice. Johnson is that writer. * Mail on Sunday *
A bravura performance...Johnson has not only celebrated Churchill in this book: he has emulated him with comparable panache. * Financial Times *
A characteristically breathless romp through the life and times of our greatest wartime leader...high on entertainment as it is on providing an appraisal of the great man's achievements. * Telegraph *
Readable, engaging and often funny. * Evening Standard *
An engagingly written romp through the elder statesman's greatest achievements. * Observer *
Riveting...Boris is a superb, accessible writer, with an easy, good-humoured touch. * Independent *
The book's style is often chatty, enthusiastic and as funny as you would expect. * The Spectator *
Splendidly enjoyable... It is rare to find a serious study of a politician that's this entertaining. * Daily Express *
