4.5/5

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

read 35 years ago . I wrote at the time that it was Churchill's wonderful wealth of words that made his books so good.

[Jerry · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hard read, very dry. Compilation of his speeches from the late 30s to 1940. Churchill saw almost everything that Germany was up to. England and the world should have listened to him.

[Jackie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Found this to be a little soothing in the last days of the election. Things were going to shit all around him and Churchill was, at least publicly, hopeful and defiant.
