Along the way, he learned how to outwit more experienced rivals, overcome bureaucratic obstacles, question the assumptions of his upbringing, value loyalty--and how to fall in love. In \u003ci\u003eYoung Titan\u003c\/i\u003e, historian Michael Shelden gives us a portrait of Churchill as the dashing young suitor who pursued three great beauties of British society with his witty repartee, political flair, and poetic letters. This is the first biography that focuses on Churchill's early career--the years between 1901 and 1915 that both nearly undid him but also forged the character that would later triumph in the Second World War.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Shelden is the author of four previous biographies.
