John Lukacs has authored more than 20 books on 20th-century history, but perhaps the most central figure in all his work is Winston Churchill. One senses that the British prime minister engages Lukacs deeply both as a world leader and as a fellow world-class historian. In Churchill: Visionary, Statesman, Historian, Lukacs addresses this enigmatic titan in his varied roles as wartime politician, Cold War prophet, and reflective chronicler. The study culminates in Lukacs' very personal evocation of his three-day visit to London in 1965 for Churchill's funeral. Lukacs' examination of Churchill's complicated relationships with Stalin, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower presents these World War II leaders in a new light.
