Boris Johnson previously worked as editor of The Spectator before serving in Parliament from 2001-2008. He was elected Mayor of London in 2008 and re-elected in 2012. He is noted for his readable style of writing, and The Churchill Factor has received very positive reviews. Writing of his book in The Wall Street Journal, Mayor Johnson states: “Churchill is the resounding human rebuttal to all Marxist historians who think history is the story of vast and impersonal economic forces. He and he alone made the difference. There has been no one remotely like him before or since.”
