This inspiring collection of campaign speeches from the WWII-era British prime minister brings the great politician's work to life. Legendary politician and military strategist Sir Winston 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 masterful writing has inspired generations of eager history buffs. In 1904, Sir Winston Churchill crossed a gaping political divide to join the Liberal Party. Conservatives saw him as a traitor to his former political party; liberals, as a strong champion for progressive views. This comprehensive collection was originally published in 1909, as part of Churchill's campaign efforts to support a Liberal budget rejected by the House of Lords. It contains his impassioned speeches delivered during a nine-day campaign, offering scathing criticism of the House of Lords' decision and supporting causes such as free trade. Ultimately, Churchill's efforts contributed to a Liberal majority and successful budget passage. It offers the modern reader a revealing glimpse into a pivotal moment in Britain's political history.

A great statesmen, a masterful historian whose writings won him the Nobel Prize for literature and a war-time leader with few peers, Sir Winston Churchill is remembered perhaps most clearly today for the sheer power of his oratory: the speeches that rallied a nation in its darkest hour and steeled that nation for victory against the might of the Fascist powers. Never Give In! celebrates this oratory by gathering together Churchill''s most powerful speeches from throughout his public career. Carefully selected by his grandson, this collection includes all his best known speeches - from his great war-time broadcasts to the "Iron Curtain" speech that heralded the start of the Cold War - and many lesser known but inspirational pieces. In a single volume Never Give In! provides a powerful testimony to one of the great public figures of the 20th century.

"[A] masterful book and a history worth buying and reading and paying attention to." — Veterans Reporter "Churchill''s speeches . . . sing in a way English language statesmen and politicians have tried unsuccessfully to match ever since.

"It is my hope to recall this great shade from the past, and not only invest him with his panoply, but make him living and intimate to modern eyes."—from the preface to Volume One John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough (1644-1722), was one of the greatest military commanders and statesmen in the history of England. Victorious in the Battles of Blenheim (1704), Ramillies (1706), and countless other campaigns, Marlborough, whose political intrigues were almost as legendary as his military skill, never fought a battle he didn''t win. Although he helped James II crush the rebellion of the Duke of Monmouth, Marlborough later supported William of Orange against James II in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and brilliantly managed England''s diplomatic triumphs during the War of the Spanish Succession. Marlborough also bequeathed the world another great British military strategist and diplomat—his descendant, Winston S. Churchill, who wrote this book to redeem Marlborough''s reputation from Macaulay''s smears. One million words long and ten years in the making, Churchill''s Marlborough stands as both a literary and historical masterpiece, giving us unique insights into the Churchill of World War II, for just as Churchill''s literary skill helps us understand the complexities of Marlborough''s life, so too did his writing of Marlborough help Churchill master the arts of military strategy and diplomacy. This two-volume edition includes the entire text and almost all the original maps.
