A History of the English-Speaking Peoples (Bloomsbury Revelations)

Sir Winston wrote this before WW II but did not finish or publish it until afterwards. It is, I believe, the last work he did publish and as was his pattern, he assembled an impressive team of people to research, review, critique and sometimes even write. Then he did his part and wrote it finally.Nowadays we know that there was some bias at work in favor of white European English-speaking peoples and this does sometimes get in the way with reading W, but since this is here his topic, it is not too bothersome. Where it does loom and itch a little is in the 4th volume. Otherwise, for his genius and scholarship and exuberance and vision, we mostly forgive him.Things change. No matter how old he got, W never wanted to give up India. He just did not understand. But how he can write!!I recommend almost everything he's written and there are just a few of his youthful war stories that are too imperialistic or Eurocentric to bear.

So happy to find this wonderful collection available at a fair price. Seller is helpful, timely and very knowledgeable. Arrived in perfect condition on time. Very grateful! Thank you!

History teacher purchasing primary resources for my teaching needs.

Bought it S A GIFT for a brother who had read it many years ago and wanted to read it again. Like him, I enjoyed then and more than ñlikely, would enjoy it today!

I have read most of Churchill's other great works and I was not disappointed with this collection. We could sure use more world leaders like him today.

I wish I had purchased this set of books 50 years ago.

The unique sense of humour of Sir Winston Churchill is prevalent throughout chapters.

Has always been a favorite of mine, and wish I had not donated my hard cover edition to a local library many years ago. Churchill, in addition to his historic place during WW2 is an excellent writer who manages to capture the 2000 year history of his countrymen. My only regret is that the paperback edition has a font size bordering on the microscopic; I have downgraded to four stars accordingly.

C’était un cadeau. La personne à qui je l’ai offert est plus que ravie.Et d’après ce que j’ai compris ces livres sont extrêmement intéressant.Envoi et emballage : rien à dire.

Creo que la relación calidad precio (precio más gastos de envío más tasas de aduana ) no es adecuada , dada que se trata de una edición de tapa blanda .Se pueden comprar ediciones mucho mejor acabadas y a mejor precio.No se lo recomendaría a nadie

I've just finished vol 2 and about to start vol 3. Absolutely riveting description of history. Churchhill breaks each section down into chapters of about 6 pages each, and this pattern is concistent throughouth.

My 91 year old dad loves it
