Churchill
Churchill: The Power of Words | Winston Churchill
15 posts | 1 reading | 2 to read
Winston Churchill knew the power of words. In public speeches and published books, in newspaper and magazine articles, he expressed his feelings and laid out his vision for the future. His wartime writings and speeches have fascinated generation after generation with their powerful narrative style and thoughtful reflection. This book contains one hundred extracts from his books, articles and speeches. They range from his memories of his schooldays, to his contributions to the debates on social policy and on war, his contributions in both world wars to the events and discourse, and his efforts after 1945 to see the world a better place. Martin Gilbert, Churchill's official biographer, has chosen passages that express to him the essence of Churchill's thoughts, and which describe--in his own inimitable words--the main adventures of his life, and the main crises of his career with Gilbert's own introduction and interlinking text. They give, from first to last, an insight into his life and thought, how it evolved, and how he made his mark on the British and world stage.

Does anyone remember the doctor's prescription Churchill got so he could drink while prohibition was going on in the United States when he visited? Google it, it's a riot.

Kaye Andrew, have you read the newest book out about him ? I can‘t remember the title but I bet it has Winston Churchill in it. It sounded quite interesting. I think it‘s red and black. 7y
Andrew65 @Kaye No not read a Winston Churchill book in a while but my wife recently read and enjoyed 7y
Kaye Thank you. I‘ll have to look the book up again. It‘s pretty new and our library had a huge wait list so I didn‘t bother signing up. I never have the patience when there are like 75 people and one copy. 7y

Andrew65 @Kaye Me either! I struggle if there are more than 6 or 7. 7y
AmyG I just saw the movie Darkest Hour. It was really very good. In case anyone cares. (edited) 7y
Andrew65 @AmyG Thanks Amy, it is something I want to see. Such an interesting character. Strange to think he was only 5 Foot 7 Inches tall, he seemed so much taller! (edited) 7y
Kaye Bingo @AmyG. I just looked it up on amazon. That‘s the book. I checked at all 7 of my online libraries. Huge waits at them all. Maybe I‘ll just buy it. I‘m too impatient sometimes. 7y
Andrew65 @Kaye @AmyG My library doesn‘t even have a copy, Just checked. It is historical fiction but have you ever read the Winston Churchill Series by Michael Dobbs (4 Books), I really enjoyed these. It starts with 7y
Kaye No, I‘ll have to look. I know they have lots of others about him. This one seems to be very popular for some reason. 7y
Andrew65 @Kaye Strange how some books ride this the crest of the hype wave. (edited) 7y
Kaye Yea I don‘t know enough about it to know why this one is so popular. The Hubster was in line for it months ago, and already listened to it. He‘s a WW 2 warehouse of information. 7y
CarolynM @AmyG I second that. Great film 7y
CaitlinR Great quote. A keeper. 7y
Andrew65 @CaitlinR One to live by! 😁 7y
Andrew65 @CarolynM I so need to see it! 7y

Currently at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. These are Winston Churchill's giant Uggs that he wore during World War II.

BookMusings They really should put a scale in there so we can see how giant they are! :) 8y
