DAVID REYNOLDS
MIRRORS OF GREATNESS: CHURCHILL AND THE LEADERS WHO SHAPED HIM (2023)
David Reynolds offers a novel and fascinating insight into Winston Churchill by describing the way in which the prominent political leaders that he encountered during his life shaped his own approach to leadership. Those include Hitler, Mussonlini, Stalin, Roosevelt, Lloyd George, de Gaulle, Attlee and Mahatma Gandhi.
Max Hastings wrote of the book in the Times: ‘This book, by a Cambridge academic who has studied his subject over a lifetime perhaps more closely and shrewdly than any other writer, is not a collection of Churchill’s biggest clangers. Instead, it is almost a second volume that Churchill himself never wrote, of his 1937 Great Contemporaries…always shrewd and sometimes brilliant…It includes wonderful anecdotes, some unfamiliar. Even the stories that we know bear retelling’.
