This collection of 1920s30s magazine and newspaper articles convey the extraordinary variety and depth of Churchill’s thoughts on the questions, both lofty and quotidian, facing humankind. From oil painting to learning to fly an airplane, from cartoons to commanding a frontline infantry battalion in World War One, these essays bring the great man’s wit and intellect to life. With a new introduction and notes by James W.Muller, academic chairman of the International Churchill Society, this edition recovers Churchill’s unforgettable table talk for a new generation of readers.
