Winston Churchill at the Telegraph

This fascinating collection of reportage chronicles the Prime Minister’s life through the newspaper where he began his career.
The Telegraph had a uniquely close connection with Winston Churchill at every stage of his life. Beginning with his early days as a war correspondent for the paper, the association continued as he himself became the news—reported on in its pages at every stage of his historic political career.
Collected here, for the first time, is the best reportage on this complex man. Unencumbered by the legendary status he would later acquire, there is praise and blame in equal measure: finding space for both dramatic accounts of his wartime premiership and affectionate reports on the animals living at Chartwell, his country estate.
The Telegraph was also a happy home for Churchill the journalist, and featured within are many pieces written in his unmistakable prose. Capturing the urgency of the time in which he lived, Churchill at the Telegraph is a celebration of an intimate relationship that lasted over sixty years and shows Winston Churchill in all his paradoxical glory.
