The Literary Churchill – by Jonathan Rose

Jun

2015

By JAMES W. MULLER

From the cover of "The Literary Churchill"

Churchill was a bigger man, and his literary works are richer, than this historian’s thesis. The Literary Churchill advances our knowledge of Churchill’s intellectual life, but more sustained attention to Churchill’s books would have made it better.
