"This history will endure; not only because Sir Winston has written
it, but also because of its own inherent virtues - its narrative
power, its fine judgment of war and politics, of soldiers and
statesmen, and even more because it reflects a tradition of what
Englishmen in the hey-day of their empire thought and felt about
their country's past." The Daily Telegraph Spanning four volumes
and many centuries of history, from Caesar's invasion of Britain to
the start of World War I, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples
stands as one of Winston Churchill's most magnificent literary
works. Begun during Churchill's 'wilderness years' when he was out
of government, first published in 1956 after his leadership through
the darkest days of World War II had cemented his place in history
and completed when Churchill was in his 80s, it remains to this day
a compelling and vivid history. The Great Democracies is the fourth
and final volume of Churchill's history. Here, Churchill reaches
the modern era. For Britain, this was the high Victorian era of
Palmerston, Gladstone and Disraeli, an age of free trade and
imperialism as the British spread to Africa, Australia and New
Zealand. Meanwhile the fledgling republic in America endured the
great crisis of the Civil War to take its first steps on the road
to becoming the world superpower that endures to this day.
