Book Review: Winston Churchill by John Perry 1 year 47 weeks ago

A complimentary copy of the book, Winston Churchill by John Perry was recently sent to me to review by the Book Sneeze book review blogger's program but all opinions of this book are my own. This book is a concise biography highlighting important moments of this great historical figure's life; from his aristocratic birth, sickly childhood and under performing at school to his becoming one of the world's most influential men with immense leadership skills during World War 2.
