The second volume of William Manchester's masterful account of Winston Churchill's life.Alone is the second volume of William Manchester's brilliant three-volume biography of Winston Churchill. In this volume, we witness the war within, before the colossal war to come. During this period, Churchill was tested as few men are: relentlessly pursued by creditors, disowned by his own party, vociferously dismissed by the press as a warmonger, and twice nearly lost his seat in Parliament. Yet despite his personal and political troubles, Churchill managed to assemble a vast, underground intelligence network-both within the British government and on the continent-which provided him with more complete and accurate information on Germany than the British government. Recognizing the horrifying truth, Churchill stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the sordid British and French policy of appeasement.Manchester's luminous portrait never loses sight of Churchill the man-a man with limitations, especially his callousness toward others (including his supporters) and his recklessness, which could border on the foolhardy; but also a man whose vision was global and whose courage was boundless. Here is Churchill as a light in the approaching darkness, readying himself for the terrible stand to come.

This is volume 2 of a 3 volume series, each one of which is a detailed and objective accounting of Churchill's life and his impact on both world wars. It is also noteworthy that its author, William Manchester, is an American, like myself which is of itself likely a big factor to the book's objectivity. i live in Thailand where I am part of a very large expat community that includes large numbers of Germans and Englishmen. So it is especially enlightening for me to be able to compare Manchester's revelations about both and to compare them to my own observations.For example, roughly 60 percent of the way through volume II Manchester comments "Britain's leaders detested being pushed; one of their chief complaints about Americans was that they always seemed to be in a hurry. Haste was something regarded as Un-British. The ruling class was not called the leisured class for nothing." With this in mind I remember how my dad commented about the pace of the British advance into France after D-Day (Dad was a captain in the U.S. Army stationed in England at the time) "The British would stop their advance to take tea breaks". I also recall how exasperated American soldiers were with the very slow pace of the British relief of the English paratroopers at Arnheim which might have had a lot to do with the slaughter and subsequent surrender of the surrounded British paratroopers.Manchester's detailed coverage of the architects of English appeasement that led to the Second World War gives me a fresh perspective of its causes. What if Neville Chamberlain and his cohorts had been replaced by Churchill and men of his thinking five years earlier than Churchill finally became prime minister? I would think the entire course of the Second World War would have been entirely different.With the first volume of the three book series and now 60 % into its second (Kindle version), I'm sure I will experience fresh and insightful perspectives about the course of the Second World War and its results that I would otherwise never get by reading books of greater brevity by less accomplished writers. There's a lot of real meat in this trio of volumes that will please those who have an unquenchable thirst for World History.
