CHURCHILL THE POWER OF WORDS - WINSTON S CHURCH...

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.
