About Winston Churchill

Portrait of Winston Churchill
Yousuf Karsh · Public domain

British statesman and writer · 1874 – 1965

Winston Churchill had a long and uneven career — a disastrous Dardanelles campaign, a decade in the political wilderness — before becoming prime minister in May 1940, when Britain's position was close to hopeless. His speeches that year did real strategic work. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his histories, was voted out immediately after the war, and returned once more. He was also an unrepentant imperialist. He is the most misattributed statesman in English, closely rivalling Twain.

Known for: A History of the English-Speaking Peoples, The Second World War, A Traveller in War-Time
