Klappentext

**Packed with hundreds of Winston Churchill's sharpest remarks, this charming collection showcases the wit, brilliance, and mischievous humor that made him one of the most entertaining - and quotable - figures of the modern era.**Sir Winston Churchill was one of the 20th century's most iconic leaders, renowned as a masterful speaker and a prolific writer. He penned histories, biographies, memoirs, and even a novel, while his journalism, speeches, and broadcasts total millions of words. From 1940, Churchill inspired and united the British people, guiding them through World War II and securing his place as a national hero. Yet behind the public figure was a witty, compassionate, and larger-than-life personality. While his most famous speeches and sayings are widely remembered, many of his sharpest observations, puns, and jokes remain less well known. This delightful collection brings together all that was best about this endearing, conceited, talented, and wildly funny Englishman.
