Description & Specifications

Winston Churchill understood and used the power of words throughout the six decades of his public life. His wartime letters and speeches reveal both his vision for the future and his personal feelings, captivating generations with their powerful style and empathetic analysis. In this book, Churchill's official biographer, Martin Gilbert, has masterfully selected 200 extracts from his entire body of work, including books, articles, and speeches, which reflect the story of his life, career, and philosophy. From intimate memories of his childhood to his contributions to half a century of discussions on war and social policy, we see how Churchill used words for various purposes: to support moral causes, to suggest action in the national and international sphere, and to narrate his own struggles, failures, and successes. The informed selection of excerpts by Martin Gilbert and his illuminating explanations that connect the passages create a fascinating biography of Churchill as told through his unique words.
