The fourth volume in this collection of the Nobel Prize–winning prime minister’s essays and journalism showcases his wide-ranging interests and talents.

Legendary politician and military strategist Winston S. Churchill was a master not only of the battlefield, but of the page and the podium. Over the course of forty books and countless speeches, broadcasts, news items and more, he addressed a country at war and at peace, thrilling with victory but uneasy with its shifting role in global politics. In 1953, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for “his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values.” During his lifetime, he enthralled readers and brought crowds roaring to their feet; in the years since his death, his skilled writing has inspired generations of eager history buffs.

This collection of 1920s–30s magazine and newspaper articles convey the extraordinary variety and depth of Churchill’s thoughts on the questions, both lofty and quotidian, facing humankind. From oil painting to learning to fly an airplane, from cartoons to commanding a frontline infantry battalion in World War One, these essays bring the great man’s wit and intellect to life.

With a new introduction and notes by James W. Muller, academic chairman of the International Churchill Society, this edition recovers Churchill’s unforgettable table talk for a new generation of readers.

Winston S. Churchill

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Winston S. Churchill (1874-1965) has been called 'the greatest Briton'. An international statesman, orator, biographer, historian, author and Nobel Prize winner, his works remain in print with the world's leading publishers.

Educated at Harrow and Sandhurst, Winston spent several years in the army before becoming a newspaper correspondent and then an MP. His cabinet positions included First Lord of the Admiralty at the outbreak of the First World War and later Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Churchill became Prime Minister in 1940 and for five years led Britain though its 'finest hour'. Defeated in the July 1945 election, he was Leader of the Opposition until re-elected Prime Minister in 1951. He was knighted in 1953, the same year he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He stepped down as Prime Minister in 1955 and remained an MP until 1964.

This book is a series of essays, all of which Churchill wrote before the 1940s. All are models of clarity, some of which are prophetic. A+++

Thoughts., musings, and stories from Winston Churchill, written in his inimitable style. Makes me wish he had recorded them, too.

Thoughts and Adventures: Churchill Reflects etc

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 2, 2009

I am delighted with the book, although I have not read the entire text yet, but scanning this significant works is a bit daunting. I ordered two copies, one for my to read shelf, the other for my recently deceased brother's grandson, an elementary school student who loves history. I have taken up the mission to feed his inquisitive mind, staying ahead of his absorption. I am in hope that Churchill will catch fire for him as a noble topic for the rest of his life.

A Good Read

Contains several of churchill's essays. Not as varied and interesting as I'd thought - many are about war - but good nonetheless.

Bottom drawer stuff, republished repeatedly

Potboilers by a master scribe, written to pay the rent in a thin time, but as always, very well worth reading, for the thoughts as well as for the style.

Well written, an easy read despite the complex events.
A fascinating work of history, the art of the possible. Brains beats brawn every time.
If the "Americans" could learn the British way of subtly and lateral thinking, we would all be better off.
Read all about it in this excellent work.
