There's historical revisionism which serves as a useful corrective to the received view, and there's historical revisionism which just tries to sell books. This, I felt, was the latter. There are plenty of other good political biographies of Churchill's life out there which accept his poor judgement prior to 1940 which don't feel the need to write him off at every turn.
