CHURCHILL WINSTON S GREAT CONTEMPORARIES

Winston S. Churchill won the Nobel Prize for Literature for "his mastery of historical and
biographical description." Nowhere is that mastery more evident than in Great Contemporaries  
first published in 1937.  Written in the decade before Churchill became prime minister  these
portraits of notable figures of his age offer wisdom for our own. With keen observations and
telling anecdotes  Churchill points out what he learned from them about greatness - and also
their limitations. His subjects range from Franklin Roosevelt  Adolf Hitler  Lawrence of Arabia
and Leon Trotsky to Charlie Chaplin  H. G. Wells  Rudyard Kipling  and George Bernard Shaw.  
Published in the Bloomsbury Revelations series to commemorate the 150th anniversary of
Churchill's birth  this is the most complete edition  including five additional essays  more
than thirty photographs  with a new foreword and annotations by Churchill scholar James W.
Muller. This volume revives Churchill's unmatched insights and unforgettable prose for a new
generation of readers.
