Bebbington Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1993             Samuel Johnson: A Biography Peter Martin Belknap Press, 2008 Bewigged, muscular and for his day unusually tall, adorned in soiled, rumpled clothes, beset by involuntary tics, opinionated, powered in his conversation by a prodigious memory and intellect, Samuel Johnson (1709–1784) was in his life a literary and social icon as no other age has produced. “Johnsonianissimus,” as Boswell called him, became in the hands of his first biographers ...             Gladstone: A Biography19 reviews Roy Jenkins Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2002 Enchanting - An absolutely exceptional book. + The Architect of the "Pax Victoria" + state versus church Gladstone was a remarkable, complicated, even enigmatic man and Jenkins does not waste our time with the sort of pop-psychology projection and junk theories that ruin so much contemporary biography.

The scholarship is at the top. The only other biography that I would consider but I have some reservations is the one by Lord Blake the problem with his as compared to Dr. Weintraub's is it is too thick. This one spends plenty of time ...             Queen Victoria: A Personal History19 reviews Christopher Hibbert Da Capo Press, 2001 Wonderful Book + Victoria brought to life + all about vicky + Allows you to step in Queen Victoria's shoes!             Churchill: A Biography93 reviews Roy Jenkins Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2001 political, not historical, biography + Good political essay Think Robert Kosowsky's review is pretty much on the mark. Historical events are not presented except in relation to timing and political positioning by Churchill and others. For example, if you don't know about the Dardenelles operation of WW1, this book will not help you.
