New Releases by Winston Churchill

This a collection of the correspondence between Sir Winston and Lady Clementine Churchill from their courtship in 1908 to Winston Churchill''s death in 1965. The letters serve both as a chronicle of their personal achievements and tragedies over the years and as a political and social history.

Winston Churchill was one of the most eloquent and expressive statesmen of his time, pouring forth words in polished speeches that aimed to inspire, exhort, persuade, bully and cajole. This selection of Churchill''s oratory demonstrates the development of Churchill''s style from the laboriously crafted utterings of the young MP, to the moment when, as Prime Minister in 1940, he mobilized the English language and sent it into battle. Unsuccessful speeches characteristic of earlier stages of his career and personality are also included.

The much-anticipated third volume of Churchill''s fascinating papers.

"Churchill was alive to his task with every nerve and fibre, and this aliveness survives and animates The World Crisis, making it the extraordinarily fascinating book that it is". So proclaimed the New York Herald Tribune when Sir Winston Churchill''s four-volume The World Crisis was published more than sixty years ago. As First Lord of the Admiralty and Minister for War and Air, Churchill stood resolute at the center of international affairs, and now Scribners proudly welcomes back into print the one-volume Abridgment of his classic account of World War I. The World Crisis dramatically details the strategies forged by the generals, how the tides of despair and triumph flowed and ebbed as these men carefully navigated the dangerous currents of world conflict. Churchill vividly recounts the major campaigns that shaped the war: the furious attacks of the Marne, the naval maneuvers off Jutland, Verdun''s "soul-stirring frenzy", and the surprising victory of Chemins des Dames. Here, too, he re-creates the dawn of modern warfare: the buzz of airplanes overhead, trench combat, artillery thunder, and the threat of chemical warfare. In Churchill''s inimitable voice we hear how "the war to end all wars" instead gave birth to every war that would follow. Written with unprecedented flair and knowledge of the events, The World Crisis remains the single greatest history of World War I, essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand our century.

These reflective, philosophical letters between British prime minister Winston Churchill and U.S. president Dwight D. Eisenhower provide insights into the relationship between the two statesmen and their countries as well as their hopes and fears about the postwar world.

The quintessential account of the Second World War as seen by Winston Churchill, its greatest leader As Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1940 to 1945, Winston Churchill was not only the most powerful player in World War II but also the free world''s most eloquent voice of defiance in the face of Nazi tyranny. Churchill''s epic accounts of those times, remarkable for their grand sweep and incisive firsthand observations, are distilled here in a single essential volume. Memoirs of the Second World War is a vital and illuminating work that retains the drama, eyewitness details, and magisterial prose of his classic six-volume history and offers an invaluable view of pivotal events of the twentieth century.

Churchill''s great wartime speeches are brought together along with a sampling of earlier speeches and a few from his later years.

The drive to victory between June 1943 and July 1944, as the Allies consolidate their achievements, with enormous difficulty and great divergence of opinion.

Presents the essence of Sir Winston Churchill''s personal story of the years between 1939 and 1945. His memoirs, which first appeared in six volumes, were abridged in 1958 by Denis Kelly, with Churchill''s approval. For the abridgement, Churchill wrote an epilogue reviewing the years since his relinquishment of the office of Prime Minister in 1945 up to 1957, and including his thoughts on the prospects for the future.

"Arms and the Covenant is an ominous collection of 41 speeches representing perhaps Churchill''s finest forewarning of the danger of allowing Germany to rearm. According to Churchill, Britain''s failure to act by March 1938 had allowed her defence programme to lapse and European dictators, chiefly, Germany, to grow bolder. The book was published at a time when prevailing opinion said that Germany had made the last of her demands. However by the time the American edition was published later that year the Munich Pact had been agreed and a new title was deemed appropriate: While England Slept"--Bloomsbury Collections.
