"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 S. 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 first volume - The Birth of
Britain - tells the story of the formation of the British state,
from the arrival of Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire through the
invasions of the Vikings and the Normans, the signing of the Magna
Carta and establishment of the mother of parliaments to the War of
the Roses.
