In Churchill's Military Histories: A Rhetorical Study, Algis
Valiunas breaks new ground by examining not only Churchill's works
themselves, but his intentions in writing them. In clear and
eloquent prose, Valiunas shows that Churchill's many volumes of
military history, written throughout his lifetime, teach readers
the prudence needed for self government in a democratic age.
Valiunas argues that the defining feature of Churchill's histories
is the way in which they maintain an aristocratic perspective on
democratic times, without losing their democratic sympathies.
Churchill's histories are largely tales of war, and they delineate
the actions of great captains and political men, but they also
honor the heroism of ordinary men, individually and in the mass.
Valiunas offers readers an engaging interpretation of Churchill's
military histories and demonstrates that Churchill knew war as few
men do. From the cavalry charge at Omdurman to the defeat of
Hitler, Churchill's achievements as a soldier and statesman were
equaled only by his powers as a historian.
