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 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 when Churchill was in his 80s, it remains to this day a compelling and vivid history.

Volume II: The New World

The second volume, The New World, delves into:

Britain's emergence on the world stage during a turbulent period at home.
Key historical moments, including:
- Henry VIII’s break with Rome and the English Reformation.
- The fending off of the Spanish Armada.
- The schism between parliament and crown, leading to the civil war.
- The fall and rise of the monarchy and the rule of Oliver Cromwell.

It also chronicles the historic journey of the ‘Mayflower’, marking the English-speaking peoples’ arrival in the Americas.

This volume, like the entire series, is a testament to Churchill’s mastery of storytelling and his deep understanding of history.
