Churchill too is often revered as a great leader. This book helps to delineate the man from the myth by detailing his personal and professional flaws.
Overall a very good biography, the book contrasts their early lives and how they eventually became the great me history portrays them. A must read for the 20th century history buff!

As for this book I greatly enjoyed it. I honestly can say I knew almost nothing except the generic knowledge most Americans have about Gandhi, conversely I knew much more about Churchill. However I learned a great deal about both in this book. If you're concerned that this is a Gandhi vs Churchill book there is no need to worry, this book doesn't demonize one or the other and does a great job of explaining the life and times of each which helps greatly understand why they made the decisions they made. It's not a liberal hackjob, so if you're looking for a Gandhi worship book you'll be disappointed, however the author is very kind towards him in my opinion. His treatment of Churchill is the same from the other side. Overall I think the book is very well balanced and doesn't really inject a lot of opinion, instead it just gives you the story and lets you figure out the message if there is one. Personally I came away from this with pretty strong feelings towards each but I won't share there here since there is no reason to biased someones reading of the same material.
Overall this is a 5 star book, it's quite long but moves quickly and the reader does an excellent job.

Moreover his imperialism was shown like heroism but it is more like shame.
Gandhi spread Nonviolence and it has encouraged many countries to become independent and it was totally not focused. I expect Mr Hermann should be more honest and neutral.
The story is more to glorify Churchill than Gandhi

I have read much about Churchill and this book gives me a new perspective on the great man. Indeed, I now understand his shortcomings far better. Ghandi was new to me and this is an excellent biography. In the case of neither man is it a glowing, one sided tribute but more a full frontal picture, warts and all, focusing on their very great achievements alongside their blind spots.
The book gets better as it rolls out. The climax, in which Herman details the funerals of each man is very moving; some of the best writing I have enjoyed.
The reader is clear and strong, necessary in a book of this length where it is easy to pretend to listen.
Good, important history.
