The Wicked Wit of Winston Churchill 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 著者简介

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill was born in 1874, the eldest son of Lord Randolph Churchill and his American wife. As a junior officer he fought in four campaigns; as a war correspondent in South Africa he made an epic escape from Boer captivity; in politics he held numerous ministerial posts and, from the backbenches in the 1930s, increasingly warned of the dangers of German rearmament, of appeasement, and of Britain's unreadiness for war. In May 1940 he succeeded Neville Chamberlain as Prime Minister. His inspiring leadership of the British people, and the war-winning relationships he established with America and the Soviet Union, won him worldwide fame, and he became an overwhelming presence on the international stage. He died in 1965 and, after a magnificent state funeral, was buried in the graveyard of the tiny parish church close to Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, the house in which he had been born.

Dominique Enright is a freelance writer and editor.

The Wicked Wit of Winston Churchill 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 图书描述

He was the greatest orator of his day, the greatest leader of the Second World War, the greatest statesman of his age, and the greatest Englishman of the twentieth century, perhaps of all time. The debt owed to Sir Winston Churchill by the free world remains immeasurable.

Yet at the heart of this often intimidating colossus lay a man of vast humanity, enormous wit and boundless humour, much of it mischievous. His most famous speeches and sayings have passed into history and into everyday language, but many of his aphorisms, puns, bons mots, jokes --- often at his own or others' expense --- are less well known. This unrivalled collection gathers hundreds of his funniest and wickedest quips in tribute to the exhilarating wit of this great-hearted, infuriatingly conceited, wildly funny, and brilliantly talented Englishman.
