winston Churchill is among history’s most dazzling characters, renowned as the great statesman who led Britain through first the devastating defeats and then the exhilarating triumphs of the Second World War. King George VI asked him to become prime minister on 10 May 1940, the day that Nazi Germany’s blitzkrieg erupted into France and the Low Countries. At the age of 65, Churchill had finally achieved his greatest ambition amidst the worst perils that ever confronted his nation: ‘I felt as if I were walking with destiny and that all my past life had been but a preparation for this hour and for this trial.’
