Author: CHURCHILL, WINSTON S

"This history will endure; not only because Sir Winston has written it, but also because of its own inherent virtues — its narrative power, its fine judgment of war and politics, of soldiers and statesmen, and even more because it reflects a tradition of what Englishmen in the hey-day of their empire thought and felt about their country's past."
— The Daily Telegraph

Spanning four volumes and many centuries of history, from Caesar’s invasion of Britain to the start of World War I, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples stands as one of Winston S. Churchill’s most magnificent literary works.

Begun during Churchill’s ‘wilderness years’, when he was out of government.
First published in 1956, after his leadership through the darkest days of World War II had cemented his place in history.
Completed in Churchill’s 80s, it remains to this day a compelling and vivid history.

Volume I: The Birth of Britain

The first volume tells the story of the formation of the British state, covering:

The arrival of Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire.
The invasions of the Vikings and the Normans.
The signing of the Magna Carta and the establishment of the mother of parliaments.
The turbulent era of the War of the Roses.

A masterpiece of narrative power, fine judgment, and historical insight, this work reflects the proud tradition of Englishmen contemplating their country's past.
