Winston Churchill understood and wielded the power of words
throughout his six decades in the public eye. His wartime writings
and speeches revealed both his vision for the future and his own
personal feelings, fascinating generation after generation with
their powerful style and thoughtful reflection. In this book
Churchill's official biographer, Martin Gilbert, has skilfully
selected 200 extracts from his entire oeuvre of books, articles and
speeches that reflect his life story, career and philosophy. From
intimate memories of his childhood to his contributions to half a
century of debates on war and social policy, we see how Churchill
used words for different purposes: to argue for moral causes; to
advocate action in the national and international spheres, and to
tell of his own struggles, setbacks and achievements. Martin
Gilbert's informed choice of extracts and his illuminating
explanations linking them together create a compelling biography of
Churchill as recounted in the great man's own inimitable words.
