A prolific author, Winston Churchill wrote fascinating narratives about his military exploits, as well as several autobiographies. His first book, The Story of the Malakand Field Force (1898), relates his experience in the Malakand expedition in Britain's war with India. Churchill's The River War (1899) covered events in the Battle of Omdurman, while The World Crisis (1923-29) was devoted to World War I. In the years prior to World War II, Churchill wrote an eloquent biography, My Early Life (1930), and Marlborough, His Life and Times (1933-38), a study of his ancestor. His postwar writings include an impressive six-volume work, The Second World War (1948-53) and A History of the English-Speaking Peoples (1956-58). A sought-after lecturer, Churchill felt that his political success was owed to his speaking ability and his speeches were owed to his writing ability. Image Size: 9.5 x 13.75 in.
