Description

This collection of 25 essays allows fresh ways of exploring Churchill and his perspectives. Great Contemporaries presents Churchill's thoughts on notable figures of his time, including men of state, of letters, and of war; ranging from Lawrence of Arabia to Adolf Hitler, from King George V to Leon Trotsky. In these essays, the reader is taken on a journey along the "stepping-stones of historical narrative" through Churchill's eyes. Published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Churchill's birth, this volume is a bridge in Churchill’s autobiographical works, falling between My Early Life and The Second World War. First published in 1937, this is the most complete edition that includes five additional essays and a reconstruction of underlying source material, expertly edited and annotated by Churchill scholar James W. Muller.

Author Biography:

Sir Winston S. Churchill (1874–1965) was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Celebrated as one of the greatest statesmen of the twentieth century, he was a gifted orator and historian. The author of more than forty books, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 and in 1963 was made an honorary citizen of the United States. James W. Muller is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and Chairman of the Board of Academic Advisers of the International Churchill Society. Educated at Harvard University and the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, he is a by-fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge. His two-volume edition of Churchill’s early book The River War: An Historical Account of the Reconquest of the Soudan won the 2021 Churchill Literary Award. He also edited a new edition of Churchill’s Thoughts and Adventures, available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series.
