Young Titan: The Making of Winston Churchill di Michael Shelden

Churchill has more ink trailing him than most famous statesmen. He deserves it, for his victories and his defeats, his failings and his achievements. And Shelden's ink is perfectly formed.

How Winston Churchill changed the world di Michael Shelden

Very good and engaging biography covering the usual highlights but giving you a lot more context, presented well. Covers Churchill's early life through the world wars, but doesn't forget the twilight years, after getting pushed out of politics.

George Orwell: A Sage for All Seasons di Michael Shelden

Another great biography by Shelden who manages to balance delivering the basic facts, exploring controversies of note and doing it while delivering the material in an engaging way.
