Summary: This programme begins at the end of World War II, the final chapter of Churchill's career when he admitted that he was lonely and did not relish the prospect of the humdrum of a peace-time politician. This programme tells of the final contradictory years, his ideas that were well ahead of his time, his struggle with ill health and his advanced years. Churchill will surely go down in history as the flawed genius, a man who was capable of both towering achievements and some of the rashest moments of folly in history.
