We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender . . .
Millions have been moved by these words—and by the hundreds of speeches given by Winston S. Churchill to rally the British public, spur its government to armament against Hitler, and defend the causes for which he believed. Churchill by Himself is the first collection of quotations from a leader who had as much talent for wit as he had for inspiration and exhortation. Edited by renowned Churchill scholar Richard Langsworth, this volume is the definitive collection of important quotes from one of the twentieth century’s most persuasive and brilliant orators, whose writings earned him a Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953.

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 1968 Langworth founded "Finest Hour," a Churchill journal which he edited for 35 years, producing 150 issues.

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.

It's not necessarily a book you sit and read cover to cover as you would a novel. It's more like an encyclopedia of Churchill's words and speeches ( and some good one liners).
At a couple of dollars it is quite a worthy book to have. Highly recommend it.

What it IS is the most comprehensive collection of Churchill quotations, ripostes, asides and philosophical ruminations ever put together, over 5000 entries on 34 topics. I do not omit quotations which may not reflect well on Churchill. And, unlike all those other quote books, each one has been verified as Churchill's own words, with times, places and sources listed. (There is a separate appendix on all the things Churchill never said but is credited for saying on Twitter, Facebook and, alas, other quote books. It is called "Red Herrings.")

The new edition, CHURCHILL IN HIS OWN WORDS, has been meticulously verified against the original sources. It adds a new index to phrases that greatly improves the basic index, and since the pagination has not changed, this index works on older editions as well. Any reader who wishes an email copy may contact me via my website: [...]
