Reader Reviews:

In history lie all the secrets of statecraft (8/8 people found this helpful)

In 1932 Churchill told his publishers that he would be willing to write A History of the Englsih Speaking People (HESP) for the sum of Stg 20,000. He had assumed that it would take him about 4 or 5 years to write. Little did he foresee how he would be overtaken by the world events that ensued.

HESP reveals Churchill's staggeringly profound understanding of the great currents of history.

The Age of Revolution was published in 1957 and finally in 1958 came The Great Democracies. All four were best-sellers. That they have remained in print for almost half a century is enduring witness to their popularity.

I agree with Sir Arthur Byrant when he said that Churchill's narrative is amongst the most comprehensive and discerning ever written of the English-speaking nations. It is balanced, accurate and reliable.

I regard this book and the other three in the set a very worthwhile purchase.
