William Manchester, historian and author of The Last Lion
(a trilogy of biographies covering the life of Churchill) said...
‘If ever there was a Renaissance man, Winston was it. In the
age of the specialist, he was the antithesis, our Leonardo.
As a writer he was a reporter, novelist, essayist, critic,
historian, biographer and recipient of the 1953 Nobel Prize in
Literature.
As a statesman he served, before becoming His Majesty’s first
magistrate, as minister for the colonies and for trade, home
affairs, finance, for all three of the armed forces.
Away from his desk he was at various times an aeroplane pilot,
artist, farmer, fencer, breeder of racehorses, polo player and
collector of tropical fish!
One felt he could do anything.’
