Norman Tebbit's 6 best books

Norman Tebbit served in the RAF before becoming a Conservative MP. An ally of Margaret Thatcher, he held a number of high-profile government posts in the 1980s.

He told the Daily Express about his six best books. One title on the list:
WINSTON'S WAR
by Michael Dobbs

One of the best pieces of "faction" (fiction based on historical events) you're likely to read, conveying so well the atmosphere of 1940 and the utter ruthlessness of Churchill at that time. All that mattered to him was survival and he was prepared to do absolutely anything to ensure victory.
Read about another book on Tebbit's list.
