Richard Vinen : The Last Titans: How Churchill and de Gaulle Saved Their Nations and Transformed the World

Richard Vinen joins the International Churchill Society podcast to discuss The Last Titans: How Churchill and de Gaulle Saved Their Nations and Transformed the World, a new dual biography that reexamines two of the defining leaders of the twentieth century. The book explores not only their wartime roles, but also the tension, mutual respect, and lasting impact that shaped Britain, France, and the modern world. Vinen, a professor of history at King’s College London and winner of the Wolfson Prize, brings fresh perspective to the parallel lives, personalities, and legacies of Winston Churchill and Charles de Gaulle.  For listeners interested in leadership, allied history, and the difficult relationships that shape great events, this is a rich and timely conversation. Published by Simon & Schuster on March 17, 2026, The Last Titans has already drawn strong praise for its research, insight, and narrative force.
