Winston Churchill

The Ultimate Portrait Of The 20th Century's Greatest Statesman.

He was an uninspired student who won the Nobel Prize for literature. He failed military school examinations twice-and then became Lord of the Admiralty. A disastrous decision during World War I threatened ruin to his political career, yet he was named Prime Minister of Britain in 1940.

The three programs in this multi-faceted collection explore Winston Churchill's extraordinary life and monumental legacy. Written and hosted by his official biographer, Martin Gilbert, The Complete Churchill is the landmark profile from A&E's acclaimed Biography series. Churchill and the Cabinet War Rooms recreates the secret meetings where he orchestrated British strategy during World War II. And FDR: The War Years offers an intimate glimpse of Churchill's relationship with his most important ally.
