His writings covered everything from his early life, his military career, countless essays and articles on various subjects for magazines and journals, a comprehensive history of World War I and World War II, to a history of English speaking peoples. Churchill himself may have contributed the best argument to history as to his greatness through his own written word. Lucky for us then, that Churchill wrote many a volume on the various chapters of his life. From his record as a war hero in the Boer war, his (politically tragic) involvement in the Great War, his involvement in Middle Eastern politics in the 1920s, his lonely protestations against His Majesty’s Government (HMG) policy toward Germany in the 1930s, to his monumental leadership in WWII, each chapter in his life is worthy of a book on its own. The breadth and depth of WSC’s accomplishments is truly awe inspiring: the amount of material written on Churchill is a testament to that fact. It is fitting that my first book review be on the greatest author-statesmen of the 20th Century.
