Churchill and Orwell; The Fight for Freedom, by Thomas E. Ricks, 339 pages.
Thomas Franks does a credible job creating a readable,
well-paced parallel biography of two
Englishmen, one celebrated as the greatest leader of his time, and the other only beginning to be noticed as a great writer during his lifetime.
We see each from the time of his childhood, through lean years wherein neither man seemed destined for greatness, and through the years of their great works. Ricks does a good job of keeping it all fresh and new.
