"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. In The Age of Revolution - the
third volume of Churchill's history - Churchill charts the rise of
Great Britain as a world power and the long rivalry with France,
the shadow of the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and his
defeat at Waterloo. The volume also covers the rise of the American
colonies, their triumphant overthrow of British rule in the War of
Independence and the first great generation of American leaders:
Washington, Adams and Jefferson.
