Churchill in Quotes celebrates the life and wit of this iconic
figure - combining archive photography with the inspiring speeches,
wry remarks and cutting comments he was known for. Sir Winston
Churchill, statesman, orator and former Prime Minister was a man
whose words gave hope and inspiration to the British people, and
many are as relevant today as they were during the war years.
Churchill's speeches were not always confined to serious political
rhetoric and motivation: his off-the-cuff quips and comments
displayed a wry wit and humour. This book is a celebration of an
outstanding figure in British history, presented in almost 200
photographs, hand-picked from the vast archives of the Press
Association, many of which have remained unseen since they were
first published in the newspapers and magazines of their day. Sales
