520    "After several decades of historical revisionism, Winston 
       Churchill remains one of the most controversial figures in
       modern history. Critics allege he was a diehard 
       imperialist and warmonger, a bitter opponent of the 
       working classes and a maverick opportunist with an 
       insatiable appetite for power. Despite his record as 'the 
       man who won the war', he is often accused of being a war 
       criminal. This book sets out to correct the historical 
       record in a stimulating collection of essays. Arranged in 
       chronological order to show his life in the context of 
       20th century world history, these essays are both detailed
       and analytical while still highly accessible to a general 
       audience. Each one answers a specific historical question 
       about Churchill through a critical examination of the 
       existing historical record. The author believes that 
       Churchill deserves to be remembered as much for his 
       domestic policy as his wartime achievements. Of particular
       interest is an evaluation of his role in introducing old 
       age pensions and unemployment benefits for the very 
       poorest in Edwardian Britain. This, some historians argue,
       made the difference between revolution and evolution at 
       the end of the war. A special section examines his 
       political philosophy, which is revealed to be more 
       consistent than many imagine."--Publisher's description.
