The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History, by Boris Johnson
€7.00

Quay Books
'The point of the Churchill Factor is that one man can make all the difference.'
Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, Boris Johnson portrays a man of multiple contradictions, contagious bravery, breath-taking eloquence, matchless strategizing, and deep humanity.
Fearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the King to stay out of action on D-Day; he embraced large-scale strategic bombing, yet hated the destruction of war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was a celebrated journalist, a great orator and won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
His open-mindedness made him a pioneer in health care, education, and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect. Most of all, as Boris Johnson says, 'Churchill is the resounding human rebuttal to all who think history is the story of vast and impersonal economic forces'.
The Churchill Factor is a book to be enjoyed not only by anyone interested in history: it is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what makes a great leader.
“Buoyant, quick-witted and vastly entertaining” - The Economist
“Irresistible…chatty, enthusiastic and as funny as you would expect.” - The Spectator
