	Review: 'The Last Lion. Winston Spencer Churchill'
		Shorter biographies - for instance, Henry Pelling's ''Winston Churchill'' or Ted Morgan's more recent ''Churchill, Young Man in a Hurry'' -have ended up devoting more space to straightforward matters of chronology than is altogether desirable, and as a result have lacked a sense of focus and attention to the patterns in Churchill's life.
		Except for the most conventional of descriptions - Churchill as an ambitious young man with a romantic sense of destiny; Churchill as a scrappy, pragmatic politician on the make - the individual who emerges from this biography has the patched-together feel of a character assembled mechanically from random facts, quotations and others' descriptions of him.
		We learn that Churchill was superstitious - he thought that ''bad luck always pursues people who change the names of their cities'' - that he could recite 1,200 lines of Macaulay, but couldn't learn the ablative absolute; that he liked to wear Fortnum & Mason's ankle boots.

		Winston Churchill, it can be argued, did more than any other single person to save the free world from Hitler.
		That Churchill was right and had the courage to stand isolated and steadfast in his convictions is the basis of his greatness.
