Churchill: The Power of Words

by Martin Gilbert, Winston S. Churchill
Churchill: The Power of Words
Churchill: The Power of Words

For lovers of history, rhetoric, and resolve

This is a great read if you want to hear Churchill in his own commanding voice rather than through secondhand summaries. The selection brings together the fire, reflection, and political drama that made his words endure far beyond their moment. Readers who enjoy big historical turning points and unforgettable speeches will likely find it stirring, weighty, and surprisingly personal.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A collection of the best and most quoted speeches and writings of Nobel Prize-winning Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill knew the power of words. In speeches, books, and articles, he expressed his feelings and laid out his vision for the future. His wartime writings and speeches have fascinated generation after generation with their powerful narrative style and thoughtful reflection. Martin Gilbert, Churchill's official biographer, has chosen passages that express the essence of Churchill's thoughts and describe—in his own inimitable words—the main adventures of his life and the main crises of his career. From first to last, they give insight into his life, how it evolved, and how he made his mark on the British and world stage.
