'I have not become the King's First Minister in order
to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.
' These notorious words, spoken by Churchill in 1942,
encapsulate his image as an imperial die-hard, implacably
opposed to colonial freedom -- a reputation that has
prevailed, and which Churchill willingly embraced to
further his policies. Yet, as a youthful minister at
the Colonial Office before World War I, his political
opponents had seen him as a Little Englander and a
danger to the Empire. Placing Churchill in the context
of his times and his contemporaries, Richard Toye
evaluates his position on key Imperial questions and
examines what was conventional about Churchill's
opinions and what was unique. Combining a lightness
of touch and entertaining storytelling with expert
and insightful analysis, the result is a vivid and
dynamic account of a remarkable man and an extraordinary
era. 'Wonderfully informative' Daily Telegraph
'Excellent' Spectator 'Mature, intelligent, thoughtful,
judicious' Washington Times 'One of Britain's smartest
young historians' Independent
