　　[2019·湖北八校第一次联考]Leaders shape history and here is a selection of the most remarkable views into these public figures plus first­hand accounts by those with access to them.

　　Margaret Thatcher by Charles Moore (2013)

　　Before Moore published the first volume of his biography, there had already been a mountain of books on Thatcher. Moore's account is different. He shows that far from being fearless, she could often be fearful without cause. The final volume will include her fall from power.

　　Harold Wilson by Ben Pimlott (1992)

　　Harold Wilson had become a ghostly figure when this book was published in 1992. The absence heightened a sense of mystery. Who was he? How to explain his seemingly contradictory characteristics? Pimlott solves some of the mysteries; the book is detailed until Wilson's final phase as prime minister in 1974.

　　Churchill by Roy Jenkins (2001)

　　Jenkins writes as a politician as well as a historian, analyzing Churchill's historic moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the Commons. Jenkins had resigned from high positions in battles over policy, and as one that changed parties, though not as frequently as Churchill did.

　　Roy Jenkins by John Campbell (2014)

Campbell calmly narrates many political and personal dramas, including Jenkins' intense relationship with Anthony Crosland when they were both students at Oxford. Campbell also addresses Jenkins' various affairs with women. Like Jenkins' political heroes, he led many lives.
