'If you had assumed you knew everything about these two men of destiny, Richard Vinen’s shrewd, provocative book will make you think again' DOMINIC SANDBROOK, THE TIMES BEST BOOKS OF 2025
'Offers shrewd and sometimes original insights on both men' MAX HASTINGS, SUNDAY TIMES
'Deeply researched yet highly readable, with fresh and often provocative insights' DAVID REYNOLDS
A compelling dual biography of Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle that shines new light on two of the greatest figures of the twentieth century.
Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle were thrown together by war. Their triumph over Hitler ensured their achievements will never be forgotten. But their story is far richer than victory alone.
De Gaulle – tall, awkward and incorruptible – had traits often associated with the English. Churchill – short, witty and charming – was a true French-style politician. Their working relationship was rarely smooth, but mutual respect ran deep despite their differences.
In this brilliantly absorbing account, prize-winning historian Richard Vinen casts new light on these exceptional men and the nations they led. By weaving their two stories into one, The Last Titans offers a fresh and exhilarating exploration into who they were, what they accomplished and the legacies they left behind.
