Description

A collection of 23 original newspaper articles that present the variety and depth of Churchill’s reflections on the largest questions facing humanity. First published in 1932, this wide-ranging volume of essays touches on cartoons, hobbies, spies, flying, elections, economics and modern science, providing fresh ways of exploring Churchill and his perspectives. Published in the Bloomsbury Revelations series to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Churchill’s birth, expertly annotated with a new foreword by Churchill scholar, James W. Muller, this volume is a bridge to Churchill’s autobiographical works, falling between My Early Life and The Second World War.

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 Great Contemporaries, available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series.
