About the author

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, politician and writer, as prime minister from 1940 to 1945 and from 1951 to 1955 led Great Britain, published several works, including The Second World War from 1948 to 1953, and then won the Nobel Prize for literature.

William Maxwell Aitken, first baron Beaverbrook, held many cabinet positions during the 1940s as a confidant of Churchill.

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, FRS, PC (Can), served the United Kingdom again. A noted statesman, orator and strategist, Churchill also served as an officer in the Army. This prolific author "for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values."

Out of respect for Winston_Churchill, the well-known American author, Winston S. Churchill offered to use his middle initial as an author.

War of Words

An excellent resource, augmented with various Churchill voice recordings I found on Audible and online.

For a good online only resource see the Archive at
The National Churchill Museum

But, this hardback provides all of Churchill's speech transcripts in one location for those interested.

I liked a different book on Churchill better.

Great insight into the phenomenal speeches of Churchill. It's an art and Churchill possessed it. Very convenient to read because you can read the chapters individually.

Unfortunately haven't got the time to read all Churchill's great works, but this was a starter. Concise, picking out arguably his most important speeches, with a short foreword for each one stating the political and personal scene at that time.
