From the popular DEAD FAMOUS series of books `Winston Churchill and His Great Wars`.
`Yes, Winston Churchill is dead famous for being the Prime Minister who won the Second World War and saved Britain from the Nazis. ...Most people agree that Winston Churchill is the greatest leader that Britain has ever had..... , he was bold, brilliant and just a teensy bit big-headed. This earned him some criticism, but luckily Winston was always funnier than his enemies. Some of his best jokes are collected in this book.........
