Rate this book
« Nous sommes tous des vers », disait modestement Winston Churchill, « mais je crois que moi, je suis un ver luisant ! » Ses multiples actions d'éclat, immortalisées par une œuvre littéraire étincelante, expliquent clairement pourquoi il n'a pas fini de luire. A-t-on déjà vu un homme doté d'un si beau style relater de si grands événements après avoir occupé de si hautes fonctions? Voici donc le second tome de ses Mémoires de guerre, une épopée narrée comme un conte, avec une documentation surabondante, d'admirables phrases cadencées, un humour omniprésent et des excursions aux quatre coins d'un monde en guerre. Une œuvre littéraire, au sens le plus noble du mot.Winston Churchill (1874-1965) commença sa carrière politique en 1900. Député, plusieurs fois ministre, il dirigea le gouvernement britannique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, jouant un rôle prédominant dans la résistance au nazisme. Il reçut le prix Nobel de littérature en 1953.

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.
