Since 2014 Mr. Langworth has been Senior Fellow for the Hillsdale College Churchill Project, an endowed, permanent center of Churchill Studies in North America.

In 1998, he was appointed by HM The Queen as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, for services to Anglo-American relations and the memory of Sir Winston Churchill.
In 2019, Hillsdale completes the final volume of Churchill’s official biography, 31 volumes in all, which began 56 years ago. Hillsdale also houses the Martin Gilbert Papers and sponsors Churchill seminars, publications, tours and online courses. It is the future home of Langworth's and others' Churchill archives, and is developing a digital index-resource to 100 million words by and about Churchill.

And Churchill rallied his nation, his empire and the free world with his words.
A gifted orator and writer, Churchill authored 15 million published words. In this book are collected about 350,000 of Churchill's words in 4,120 quotations.
The editor, Richard Langworth, has done extensive research to validate the words as Churchill's own. It turns out that many follow the maxim of attributing words to Churchill that he had nothing to do with.
Churchill spent 50 years in public life. He was a soldier, journalist, Member of Commons, Lord of the Admiralty, member of the opposition, Prime Minister, world renowned author and more.
I've been an admirer of Churchill all my life. Many of the quotations are familiar to me. Yet, as they are categorized here, they take on a new life, a new perspecive.
Langworth begins with "The Immortal Words", the words of Churchill that will live forever in the memories of free men everywhere. The pity is that these words are rarely taught in American public schools. We will lose what we do not cherish and this means both the words of Churchill and our freedom.
Langworth progresses through Maxims, Churchillisms ("I have nothing ot offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat"), 34 sections in all that allow the reader to sense the full of Churchill and his words.
This is as remarkable book not only for Churchill admirers and students, but for those who revel in the beauty of the English language.

This is an impressive piece of scholarship. Every entry is documented and many are annotated. And what entries they are! In each one of the thirty-four sections, one will find humour, wit, wisdom and inspiration, showing Churchill's statesmanship and mastery of the English language. This is a wonderful compilation to which one will return often.

I've long been a fan of Winston Churchill's mannered eloquence which, unfortunately, was ignored by his countrymen in the late 30s, but which roused them during World War II. This book outdoes all other books of Churchill quotes. It is broken into topics ("Germany", "World War I", "Science and Medicine", "Ripostes", etc.). Like many books of this sort - a compendium, rather than a structured narrative - one can dip into this at any point at any time, or if so disposed, just read it from front to back.
