This broadly scaled historical documentary chronicles the life of Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965), widely regarded as one of the finest statesmen of the Twentieth century. Subtopics explored include Churchill's childhood, his service in World War I, his post-WWI political career and ascendance to the prime minister post, his indomitable leadership during World War II, and his second post as Prime Minister during the 1950s, in the years leading up to his death. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
