The Churchill Complex: The Curse of Being Special, from Winston and FDR to Trump and Brexit

byIan Buruma

From one of its keenest observers, a brilliant, witty journey through the "Special Relationship" between Britain and America that has done so much to shape the world, from World War II to Brexit. Using archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, The Churchill Complex moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing The Churchill Complex within history and political science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment.
