The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History by Boris Johnson

Although this is written by someone who is unapologetically a Churchill fan, it also sheds light on several of Churchill's faults and mistakes. Because of this, I would say that this would be a great place to start for anyone looking to learn more about Winston Churchill. Then if you want more you can pick up Manchester's three part biography.
