  Imperial War Museum: Churchill at War reveals the many sides of this remarkable man at war: army officer, war correspondent and political leader. This book covers his entire 50-year involvement in British warfare from his first army commission in 1895, through his participation in one of the last British cavalry charges at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898 and his active service in the First World War right up to his wartime leadership as First Lord of the Admiralty, and then as Prime Minister. Containing over 150 photographs, the majority of which are taken from the Imperial War Museum's remarkable archives and supported by informative and authoritative text Churchill at War focuses above all on Churchill's inspirational leadership during the Second World War and the final overthrow of Nazism in 1945.
