'Wars are not won by evacuations' 'We can take it!' 'Westward look, the land is bright' This collection of speeches from one of the great modern orators includes Churchill's famous words on the declaration of war with Germany, as well as his rousing call to the British in June 1940 after Dunkirk, and his immortal tribute to the young men fighting in the Battle of Britain. GREAT IDEAS. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

The most eloquent and expressive statesman of his time - phrases such as 'iron curtain', 'business as usual', 'the few', and 'summit meeting' passed quickly into everyday use - Winston Churchill used language as his most powerful weapon at a time when his most frequent complaint was that the armoury was otherwise empty. In this volume, David Cannadine selects thirty-three orations ranging over fifty years, demonstrating how Churchill gradually hones his rhetoric until the day when, with spectacular effect, 'he mobilized the English language, and sent it into battle' (Edward R. Murrow).

Churchill: The Power of Words

Da Capo Press

Early in 1937, the enterprising owner of an independent press service made Winston Churchill an irresistible offer. He would place Churchill's articles on current world events in major newspapers across Europe--and for significantly more money than Churchill's present agent. "I am absolutely convinced," Emery Reves assured Churchill, "that you will find the diffusion of your articles satisfactory." So began a profitable business relationship that grew into an enduring personal friendship. In this book, Martin Gilbert chronicles that relationship through the correspondence of Winston Churchill and Emery Reves. He preserves a compelling record of how each man used the other's talents to forward a cause that passionately engaged them both--the spread of democratic ideals in a post-totalitarian world. The correspondence ranges from short notes to lengthy letters and reveals the important role that Reves played in Churchill's writing life. Before World War II, Reves worked untiringly to place Churchill's pro-democracy articles in newspapers around the world. After the war, he acted as agent and editor for Churchill's war memoirs and his four-volume History of the English-Speaking Peoples and ultimately made Churchill one of the highest-paid authors of nonfiction in the twentieth century. The Churchill-Reves correspondence will be essential reading for all students and scholars of the Churchill era.

History of the English Speaking Peoples New World

The two centuries covered in Volume II, from 1485 to 1688, were the years which saw the Golden Age and the beginning of the world's greatest empire; then the seventeenth century, the century of internal strife in which the English Parliament developed from an advisory to a governing body, arbiter of the highest affairs of State. These were also the years when the New World of the American continent was discovered and settled by European adventure.
