About This Book
The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Alone, 1932-1940 is the second volume in William Manchester's multi-part biography of the British statesman.
This installment covers Churchill's years out of power, when he was largely sidelined by his own party and warned repeatedly about the growing threat from Nazi Germany.

The narrative places Churchill within the broader context of British and European politics in the 1930s.
