Looking for Two Biographies

Bureaucromancer · 08-11-2010, 11:58 PM

I'm looking for good biographies of Jackie Fisher and Winston Churchill. Does anyone have suggestions for either that are fairly easy to get, obviously I would prefer digital, but I'd actually be open to something hardcopy as long as I don't have to go on some insane hunt (that doesn't rule out older works, just rare ones)...

Any help would be appreciated. Churchill doesn't seem too hard, but Fisher seems to be a little more obscure than I expected.

Are you talking about this chap:

I must admit I'd never heard of him until now, but he certainly sounds like a very interesting character.

There is this for Churchill; I have it on my reader but haven't started it yet. Really good reviews. =)

That would be the one.

I just finished this biography of Churchill:

http://www.amazon.com/Churchill-Biog.../dp/0374123543

Unfortunately, it is not available for the Kindle. I downloaded the audio version from www.audible.com He writes quite a bit about Churchill's relationship with Fisher during the First World War.

Thanks for the help, I think I'll go with Johnson's Churchill for now, haven't heard much bad about it. I'm still looking for something on Fisher though, so if anyone knows anything
