The definitive resource for Churchill studies. Arranged chronologically by year beginning in 1900, the bibliography has more than 2,000 entries on works about Sir Winston Churchill published over the entire course of the twentieth century. Some 650 entries cover books entirely about Churchill; other entries cite book chapters as well as articles that appeared in periodicals. Two additional sections list reviews of books authored by Sir Winston himself and master's theses and Ph.D. dissertations about one of the most significant figures of the twentieth century.
Winston Churchill, indispensable when liberty was in peril, died in 1965. Yet he is still accused of numerous sins, from alcoholism and racism to misogyny and warmongering. On the Internet, he simmers in a stew of imagined misdeeds--using poison gas, firebombing Dresden, causing the Bengal famine, and so on. Drawing on the author's fifty years of research and writing on Churchill, this book uncovers scores of myths surrounding him--the popular and the obscure--to reveal what he really said and did about many issues. Churchill had two personas--one that thought deeply about the nature of humanity, and one that helped solve seemingly intractable problems. In his many decades in public life, he made mistakes, but his faults were well eclipsed by his virtues.
'Strength is granted to us all when we are needed to serve great causes' 'Sometimes when Fortune scowls most spitefully, she is preparing her most dazzling gifts' 'We shall not be judged by the criticisms of our opponents but by the consequences of our acts' In troubled times who better to turn to for advice and reassurance than the man who led Britain through her most difficult days - Winston Churchill. Collected here are the famous and inspiring words of the man voted the Greatest Briton and one of history's most remarkable leaders. By turns witty, dry, rousing and wise, this book of quotes is the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of our times. As Churchill often reminded family and colleagues, in challenging times 'We must just KBO' - Keep Buggering On.
