The second edition in the landmark reissue of the diaries of Winston Churchill's doctor, devoted friend, and confidant, Lord Moran, present a frank and intimate portrait of the Prime Minister from the tumultuous post-World War II years all the way up to his death in January 1965. In his unique position as a companion to Churchill throughout virtually his entire career as a statesman, Moran sheds new light on the controversies that precipitated Churchill's eventual fall from grace after theWar, presenting an invaluable picture of a complicated, contradictory individual: stubborn, defiant, prideful, yet possessing an undeniable strength and nobility. Moran chronicles not only the key political events of Churchill's last twenty years--his legendary Iron Curtain speech, his triumphant return to power in 1951 and his ensuing role in the unfolding political landscape of the Cold War era--but also Churchill's place as a Nobel Prize winning historian, voracious traveler, and enigmatic father and husband. What we get with the Churchill Diaries is an absolutely indispensable first-hand document of one of the most towering historical figures of the 20th century.… (mais)

I read this book just after I completed Churchill's 6 volume WWII epic, so I might be more favourable disposed to provide a more positive review than someone who picked up this book, and read it cold. This is an eye opening, brutally honest, and at times touching portrait of a decline of an icon, written by someone who obviously liked him very much, and stood by him until the end. Reading the Second World War, one gets a sense of the man behind the boldness and bluster, this book confirms it with all his charms and warts. Moran often seeks out other contemporaries' opinions of Churchill, both politically, and as a man, and in particular his record during wartime. At the same time, a personal side of Churchill is presented,including his ego, his fears, and his despair at being no longer needed.

I would not recommend this book as a first book to read about Churchill, but for someone who has a background and would like more exposure to the man, I think it is a definite read. ( )

An intimate portrait of Winston Churchill given by Lord Moran, Churchill's personal physician for the years 1940-1965. A careful, literate diarist, Lord Moran becomes an ever closer companion to Churchill as the war advances and Churchill's health begins to break down. Interesting glimpse of the Churchill family and the famous people Lord Moran meets as he travels with Churchill. ( )
