Roberts shares his passion for Sir Winston

I was invited by a college professor to sit in on Mr. Roberts' visit at TXSTATE University, and highly encouraged to get this book. Once I opened the book, I could not put it down. Unlike some biographies, Roberts shares his passion for all things Churchill with the reader. The first evening I read half of the book. During the lecture and question and answer session, it was apparent that the traditional students were given questions to ask. Roberts appreciated the change in format when I asked, "When did you first develop this passion for Churchill that is apparent in your writing?" As with most authors, this opened a chance to truly share his experience in writing the book, why he wrote a book that does not read like all the other biographies of Churchill. It is with this passion Roberts writes concerning the other topics he covers, but this is my favorite...maybe because I too have a grandfather who is reminiscent of Churchill.
