Product Description: Renowned historian Sir Martin Gilbert, Churchill's official biographer, hosts the definitive chronicle of the life of Britain's legendary leader, THE COMPLETE CHURCHILL. In four remarkable volumes, the triumphs and setbacks, bravery and brilliance of Churchill's life are revisited. An extraordinary fusion of candid interviews, newsreel footage, and new findings released here for the very first time unveil the intimate details and defining moments of the greatest statesmen of the 20th century. See rare footage of a slender, young Churchill as he first captures Britain's attention, and see why he was forced out of public office. Yet his words would remain in the hearts of his countrymen, and as the nation faced its darkest hour, Churchill was chosen to lead the charge against the Nazis. Trace the incredible story of his wartime exploits, and discover how the great statesmen spent his days after the war. "

Customer Reviews
Best Video we've seen on Churchill
This is no superficial coverage of Churchill. We had seen part of the series on A&E, and got more of it. Martin Gilbert was the only person who could have done this complete a job in a video. Ken Burns could have done it, maybe. No one else would come close.I gave this as a gift to my brother, who is a Churchillphile. (He dips into Churchill's "History of the English Speaking Peoples" for relaxation.) The words he used to thank me were "Awe-inspiring, excellent, contained stuff I didn't know existed, thank you so very much!" If it can pass muster with him, and keep my husband (*not* a Churchillphile) interested enough to prefer it to a new episode of Deep Space Nine, I would say that this is the Churchill series for everyone.
