Undoubtedly Winston S. Churchill was one of the most remarkable persons of the Twentieth Century, whether you agree with his thoughts or not.

In this book his grandson compile some of his best speeches. Through Churchill`s eyes one can clearly figure out how the first half of the 20th century developed. It`s thrilling to follow the fruitless British appeasement policy in the thirties through Churchill`s fierce opposing speeches. His eagerness to defend the islands and to never give in to Hitler, whatever the cost, was outstanding. It`s interesting to infer that Churchill was one of the mentors of the European community and NATO. To sum up, the book is about the history of one of the darkest ages of the world and the way to lead people and face the challenges in tough times.
