Replies to @typesfast — the trilogy was named in answer to “What’s the best history book you’ve read?” in his thread, June 2025. The full list of answers is on What’s the best history book… (tweet).
About this edition
The reply named “The Last Lion trilogy (Churchill)”, so this card stands for the whole sequence, filed under volume one. It continues in Alone (1988) and was completed after Manchester’s death by Paul Reid in Defender of the Realm (2012).
