Boris Johnson is a British politician, Conservative member, former mayor of London and former British Foreign Secretary. Author of several books, worked as a journalist for The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator.

Boris Johnson's book is the story of how the eccentric genius of Churchill, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, one of the most prominent leaders of the twentieth century, shaped world politics. Analyzing the achievements and mistakes, as well as the myths that accompanied this outstanding figure, Johnson portrayed Churchill as an incomparable strategist, a man extremely brave, eloquent and deeply humane. Fearless on the battlefield, one of the best speakers of all time, Nobel Laureate in Literature, Winston Churchill refuted the idea that history is a place of action of great impersonal forces. This man's life is proof that one person - brave, brilliant, distinguished - can shape the world order.
