The Man Within - by Alison Carlson (Hardcover)

About the Book

The Man Within, a coffee-table book that offers a unique glimpse of Winston Churchill through rare photographs and buried quotations, provides a new way to view the renown and beloved leader.

Book Synopsis

Fifty years after his passing, The Man Within is meant to reinvigorate the spirit of Winston Churchill--approachable rather than academic, lively rather than staid.

This collection features exceptional black-and-white photos, many of which are previously unpublished, woven together with his own powerful words. It tells his story -- his childhood, his family, his passions, his friends, his life--and has been chosen as the official commemorative book of the Churchill Centre on the fiftieth anniversary of his passing. A percentage of royalties goes to the Churchill Centre UK and to other Churchill 2015 charities.

Review Quotes

"An absorbing book, well worth owning by anyone from casual browser to the expert."--The Churchill Project

"These photographs preserve flashes of the personality of a great man. At a time when the study of greatness is too often undervalued, Carlson's book makes an important contribution to the works available on one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century." --Chartwell Bulletin

"A most welcome addition to the canon of Churchill photobiographies, this new volume is one of the handsomest yet seen, and filled with rarely seen images from the entirety of Churchill's career." --Chartwell Booksellers
