想瞭解丘吉爾生平的人不如去讀傳記,這本書無非藉著保守黨MP的身份賣瞭一手好梗。另外就是政客不可避免地夾帶的私貨。不過總的說來還是很有趣(嘴賤),值得一讀。

評分想瞭解丘吉爾生平的人不如去讀傳記,這本書無非藉著保守黨MP的身份賣瞭一手好梗。另外就是政客不可避免地夾帶的私貨。不過總的說來還是很有趣(嘴賤),值得一讀。
評分簡單易懂,人無完人,偏執有時纔能做大事,亦因時所需而改變看法
評分當代政治傢們大多經過公關高手設計打造,他們不會以丘吉爾為楷模,或許本書作者倫敦市長Boris Johnson想錶明自己是個例外。 此書齣版在Johnson公布重返大選時。百忙之中抽齣時間碼字,他是真對丘吉爾有新研究,還是在利用故人為自己走一步棋,讓選民們從老人傢身上看他的影子,藉丘吉爾來比喻自己?
Boris Johnson is the very popular and internationally known Mayor of London. Educated at Oxford, he began his career as a journalist, writing for the Times and the Telegraph (for whom he still contributes a regular column), and working his way up to editor of the Spectator. He is the author of Johnson’s Life of London (Riverhead, 2012) and The Churchill Factor (Riverhead, 2014). He was elected to the House of Commons in 2001 and served there until he was elected Mayor in 2008. Johnson is a regular on British television and radio. He lives in London with his wife and four children.
On the fiftieth anniversary of Churchill’s death, Boris Johnson celebrates the singular brilliance of one of the most important leaders of the twentieth century. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays—with characteristic wit and passion—a man of contagious bravery, breathtaking eloquence, matchless strategizing, and deep humanity.
Fearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the king to stay out of action on D-Day; he pioneered aerial bombing and few could match his experience in organizing violence on a colossal scale, yet he hated war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was the most famous journalist of his time and perhaps the greatest orator of all time, despite a lisp and chronic depression he kept at bay by painting. His maneuvering positioned America for entry into World War II, even as it ushered in England’s post-war decline. His openmindedness made him a trailblazer in health care, education, and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect. Most of all, he was a rebuttal to the idea that history is the story of vast and impersonal forces; he is proof that one person—intrepid, ingenious, determined—can make all the difference.
1. 猜想Borris Johnson定是以Winston Churchill为榜样,在现实活出偶像的样子。相同点,他们都是英国总理;都是journalist、historian 和 writer;性格上都很幽默,喜欢玩弄词语,以及胆大敢赌(Borris今年号召全国公投,如果输了的话,他将会成为历史上任期最短的英国总理,此...
