Original and revelatory portrait of Churchill post Second World War which examines the development of his fame and his posthumous reputation from one of Britain's leading political writers

John Ramsden is head of the history department at Queen Mary and Westfield College and a first-rate professional historian. He is a brilliant lecturer with an enviable reputation and is widely admired by the likes of Ben Pimlott and Peter Hennessy, who describes him as 'much better than me'. His first trade book, AN APPETITE FOR POWER: A NEW HISTORY OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY is the book to replace Lord Blake's history - an authoritative, readable, classic history book.

Ramsden's second trade book is one on Churchill post-Second World War. This will not be 'yet another book' on Churchill, but a fresh, original biographical study of Churchill's post-war fame and reputation, what he was thought to stand for and how that reputation was constructed. It will contain a lot of new and revelatory material on how his personality, attitudes, and vision of himself have affected our own political perception of ourselves as a nation, and will argue that Churchill's romantic, imperial notion of Britain has contributed directly to many of the political debates of recent years - particularly our attitudes in Europe. This will not be a dry political analysis but an important biographical study of the man who found himself described as the prized possession of the whole world, and of the whole Churchill phenomenon from one of our most interesting and readable historians.

This is Ramsden's turf. This aspect of Churchill has never been dealt with in any depth and he will undertake extensive new research amongst archives in Britain and the USA - much of which have either not been drawn on before or have only just been released.

Perfect flattering tank
Color: Hot Pink, Size: Large
These are the best tank tops! No gaping arm holes. The tank gives some coverage on the sides and under the arms so it conceals any problem spots. The back neckline is higher than most tanks so the straps are a perfect flattering length for me. I'm under 5'3 with a short torso so it's rare to find a tank that doesn't require shortening the straps. The V-neck is wide and hits at the perfect spot, not too high to be awkward looking but not so low that I'm flashing people at dinner. The fabric is light- medium weight. Not so sheer that it looks cheap but not thick enough for the white to be opaque. These are well made and hold their shape after washing and drying and come in a ton of colors. I have several and will buy more.

Cut tight, good quality and price.
Color: Sky Blue, Size: Medium
Well made, the material is soft, and comfortable. It’s tight without being clingy. It didn’t shrink when I dried it on medium. The color is as shown and its not see through but is cut tight. So if you have a little extra weight in your stomach area it will not be flattering. Great price and good quality. I’m 5’6, 138lbs, and wear a 36C. I bought a size medium.

Comfortable women’s top, excellent for nursing!
Color: Black, Size: Large
I needed a new breastfeeding friendly tank top as I am postpartum and gained some weight. This is so comfortable and easily accessible for feeds. I wear it around the house and to sleep in. At a fraction of the cost of the more expensive brands nursing tops, this is a great practical, comfortable buy. The material is thick but breathable and not restrictive and non see through. Sizing is spot on. I am 5’4 and 160 lbs and I bought a Large. Overall this is a durable piece that is a staple in my postpartum wardrobe.

Great top for summer!
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
I bought one of these. The v-neck and fit of the tank top is amazing! Flattering! I loved it so much I ordered two more. Great summer tank! Washes and dries fabulously as well. I am 5’4” 150lbs, wear a medium or size 8-10. I purchased a large and love the look. It fits well, not too tight but hugs the body. Not oversized.
