The book offers a detailed exploration of Churchill's complex relationship with the British Empire, tracing his imperialist beliefs from childhood to his rise as a prominent leader. It delves into his duality as a revered figure who fought against Hitler while simultaneously harboring controversial views on race and imperialism. By portraying Churchill as a multifaceted individual rather than fitting him into a political spectrum, the author highlights the contradictions in his legacy, including his disdain for figures like Gandhi and his skepticism towards democracy in India.
