FINEST HOUR 140, AUTUMN 2008

ABSTRACT
ALWAYS LED BY THE OFFICIAL BIOGRAPHY (FIRST AMERICAN EDITIONS AT LEFT), HERE ARE FINEST HOUR’S TOP PICKS AMONG BOOKS ABOUT CHURCHILL PUBLISHED SINCE THE FOUNDING OF THE WINSTON CHURCHILL STUDY UNIT IN 1968.

==================

n 1991, Finest Hour 70 listed our thirty favorite books about Churchill, five in each of six categories. In 2005, Finest Hour 128 offered Professor Paul Addison’s top ten choices. The exciting explosion of books over recent years makes it impossible to be so rigid nowadays—so for our fortieth anniversary, we have simply listed fifty great books, alphabetically by author (except that the Official Biography is at the top).

Our list is not intended to be exclusive, and more nominations are welcome. We have cited at least one work from prolific Churchill authors such as Gilbert, Kimball, Sandys, Soames and Weidhorn, though their other titles are worth considering. The only Details!
