The Collected Essays of Sir Winston Churchill -
Sir Winston Spencer Churchill, Michael Wolff - General Editor

‘On behalf of my family I wish to express my gratitude to the Library of Imperial History for having undertaken the major task of bringing together in book form my grandfather’s entire journalistic output. These articles are spread over more than half a century and, unlike his books which have always been readily available, have hitherto been unavailable to no one, bar a handful of research scholars. These lively and varied articles and essays illuminate another facet of his character, which I hope the reader of these volumes will find stimulating and enjoyable.’ - Winston S. Churchill.
