I read "The Last Lion" when I was in high school and loved it. It's what started me on reading about WWII from a British perspective.
Hi Josh,Below are a few suggestions on books covering Churchill:
by Sir Max Hastings (just released in UK)[image error] by Carlo D'Este (own but not read)
by Richard Holmes (own but not read)
by Graham Freudenberg (Excellent book covering Churchill's relationship with Australia, from the Boer War to the Cold War)
This a short bio, less than 200 pages - just the highlights, but it is a good read and it brought out some stuff I had never heard before
by Paul Johnson
Good post Happy, thanks for the recommendation.
This one came recommended to me so I pick up a copy by have yet not a chance to read it 
by Roy JenkinsThis also comes recommended but only covers WWII, I have not a chance to read it either .
The War and Colonel Warden by Gerald Pawle
Roy Jenkins is a well regarded author so it should be a decent read, let us know how it goes once you have had a chance to read it.

Someone I know feels "The Last Lion" is the best but it is also a bit dry so I was looking for a second opinion and/or good alternatives.
Thanks!
