Yeah, a lot of similarity.... though Im currently blowing cold on Manchester... bought two hard-cover (and not cheap) copies of this planned three-volume set of Churchill's biography he was working on... of course EVERYONE was waiting for vol. 3 which covered WWII, and Manchester up and says he is too sick to complete it, and that he knows of no one who could do justice to his notes. So... Manchester up and dies and leaves us stuck with two of three volumes. Hmmph.
Anyway, let me know what you think.
Oh.. the eBook also includes the photos that are (presumably) in the dead tree version - they hold up pretty well in the Kindle.
