Churchill's Trial....not an error

Before I launch into the review, please allow me to be upfront -- this is NOT a Christian book even though it is put forward by a "Christian publisher."  The closest it comes to having anything redemptive is in the secondary title of the book where is uses the word "salvation."  The book is policy review of Churchill's life based on conservative principles and uses any opportunity to highlight the need of free government in America. 

Arnn is clearly a scholar and, at times, makes connections beyond what the average person will access.  He is masterful in his writing and logical in his thinking.  This book is not a detailed biography of possibly the greatest British prime minister.  What he has produced, however, is an overview of certain parts of Churchill's life that drive home his (Arnn) philosophical views.  Please do not misunderstand that last statement -- I am not questioning Arnn's scholarship because he and Churchill would agree on many things.  My point is simply this:  I am curious as to how Churchill scholars (or even the Churchill Society itself) would speak to this book by Arnn.

I did appreciate the fact that it was a different approach on Churchill which, as Mark Levin put it, is "rare."  The focus is not so much on historical events -- they merely serve as the backdrop -- but upon the writings, speeches, or actions of the famed leader.  The book is a good, fast read and does offer some interesting insights and lessons.

Whether or not to get this book depends on what you are seeking from the life of Churchill?  An understanding of the World War 2 years?  Find another book.  A detailed biography of the man?  Find another book.  Insights into conservativism and intellectual thought of the man?  This is probably your book.
