This is a pertinent study of the man who was more than aware of his performative power in his public life. In this book, with over 80 images, some in colour, the changing image of Churchill in visual art - from cartoons and paintings to photographs and sculptures - is skilfully explored. Jonathan Black asks how and why Churchill's image developed and examines the extent to which Churchill was complicit in its production. A fascinating investigation of a remarkable man and his portrayal, Black's investigation has much to offer the discerning reader of British history, visual culture and memory.
