About This Item
Bantam, 2012-01-01. Hardcover. Like New. 6x1x9. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Light wear. Slight tanning to pages. Clean, unmarked pages. xxi, 485 pages, 24 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm. <br> "Throughout his six decades in the public eye, Winston Churchill understood and wielded the power of words. In his speeches, books and newspaper and magazine articles, he expressed his feelings and laid out his vision for the future. His wartime writings and speeches in particular have fascinated generation after generation with their powerful narrative style and thoughtful reflection. In this book Martin Gilbert has skillfully selected 200 extracts from Churchill's entire oeuvre of books, articles and speeches that reflect his life story, career and philosophy. They range from intimate memories of his childhood and schooldays to his contributions to more than 50 years of debates on social policy and on war, and his efforts after 1945 to see the world a better place. In them we see how he used words for different purposes: to argue for moral and political causes, to advocate courses of action in the social, national and international spheres, and to tell the story of his own life, struggles, setbacks and achievements.
