How do historians rate Churchill’s A History of the English-Speaking Peoples?

by PhoenixGeordie

I picked this up out of curiosity and I’ve found that, for an academic text, Churchill paints a genuinely interesting picture of British Isles’ history (disclaimer: still in volume one) but I’m wondering given the man’s own background and views if it might be a bit biased. What’s the historiography of Churchill look like? Any particular biases or critiques I should pay heed to as a layman?

While more can always be said, this topic has come up before:

The brief summary statement would be a "unique perspective rather than a necessarily reliable one."
