The imperial aspect of Winston Churchill's career tends to be airbrushed out, while the battles against Nazism are heavily foregrounded, in this detailed study by historian Richard Toye. The New York Times - Johann Hari Winston Churchill is remembered for leading Britain through her finest hourbut what if he also led the country through her most shameful one? What if, in addition to rousing a nation to save the world from the Nazis, he fought for a raw white supremacy and a concentration camp network of his own? This question burns through Richard Toye's superb, unsettling new history…In the end, the words of the great and glorious Churchill who resisted dictatorship overwhelmed the works of the cruel and cramped Churchill who tried to impose it on the world's people of color. Toye teases out these ambiguities beautifully.
