The British statesman, orator and author Winston Churchill served as prime minister twice, achieving legendary status for rallying the British people during World War II and leading the country from the brink of defeat to victory. In addition to his careers of soldier and politician, Churchill was a prolific writer, starting with war journalism charting his adventures in British India, at the Siege of Malakand, at Sudan during the Mahdist War and in Africa in the Second Boer War. He excelled as a writer of history, producing multi-volume studies of both World Wars and other grand subjects to critical acclaim. Many of his speeches and parliamentary answers were also published in pamphlets and collected editions. In 1953 Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature ‘for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory’. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Churchill’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
