A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill KG OM CH TD PC PCc DL FRS RA (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British statesman who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. As Prime Minister, Churchill led Britain to victory over Nazi Germany during World War II. Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a non-academic historian, and a writer (as Winston S. Churchill). He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953 for his overall, lifetime body of work.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

On general grounds I deprecate prefaces. I have always thought that if an author cannot make friends with the reader and explain his objects in two or three hundred pages he is not likely to do so in fifty lines. And yet the temptation of speaking a few words behind the scenes as it were is so strong that few writers are able to resist it. I shall not try.
