«In the Footsteps of Churchill» is the historical biography by Richard Holmes, published by BBC Books in hardcover (351 pages, in English).
Biography of Winston Churchill, at once a portrait of his character and a chronicle of his public career. Richard Holmes draws on little-used documentation to explore his origins, school years, and the influence of his parents, Randolph and Jennie; he argues that the audacity that made him a hero also led him to serious mistakes, such as the Gallipoli campaign.
