Author: LANGWORTH, RICHARD M

Charismatic, erudite, and often controversial, Winston Churchill was one of the most inspiring leaders of the 20th century—and one of its greatest wits. His much-celebrated sense of fun and mischief has made many of his jokes and ripostes almost as famous as his iconic wartime speeches.

Rare insights: Discover little-known asides and observations that showcase Churchill's sharp mind and humor.

Capturing the great statesman at his most eloquent, witty, and engaging, Churchill's Wit celebrates the humor and humanity of this imposing historical figure.

Memorable Quotes from Churchill:

"My dear young man, thought is the most dangerous process known to man."
"I believe I am the only man in the world to have received the head of a nation naked."
"[A politician] is asked to stand, he wants to sit and he is expected to lie."

A Famous Exchange:

"Winston, you are drunk, and what's more, you are disgustingly drunk."
"Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober, and you will still be disgustingly ugly."

This collection is a must-have for admirers of Churchill and anyone who appreciates sharp wit and timeless humor.
