About the author

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, politician and writer, as prime minister from 1940 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1955 led Great Britain, published several works, including The Second World War from 1948 to 1953, and then won the Nobel Prize for literature.

William Maxwell Aitken, first baron Beaverbrook, held many cabinet positions during the 1940s as a confidant of Churchill.

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, FRS, PC (Can), served the United Kingdom again. A noted statesman, orator and strategist, Churchill also served as an officer in the Army. This prolific author "for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values."

Out of respect for Winston_Churchill, the well-known American author, Winston S. Churchill offered to use his middle initial as an author.

Reviews

[Lewis Weinstein · Rating 5 out of 5]

Winston Churchill understood the threat posed by Hitler's rearmament of Nazi Germany. He pleaded over and over for a significant increase in Britain's military preparedness, but nobody paid attention until it was too late. This book is a compilation of Churchill's speeches to Parliament on this subject during the years from 1932 to 1938. Reading them can make you cry.

In the sequel to my recently published historical novel A FLOOD OF EVIL, I intend to have my fictional character Anna Gorska read these speeches and learn from them the information Churchill needs to continue to make his case. She and Berthold Becker will then try to obtain similarly useful information and get it to Churchill.

A Flood of Evil is available at amazon in both print and kindle editions.
