Churchill: A Reader’s Guide
Bernardo Futscher Pereira

From a very early age till late in life, Churchill wrote in order to speak of the world, the United Kingdom, and himself. On one occasion, he declared that history would be generous to him, because he was going to write it. When the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the great victor in the Second World War, it brought attention to a literary oeuvre that is indispensable to an understanding of the man and the audacity of his deeds. Drawing on the “old lion’s” own books and those that many authors have written about him, the diplomat and historian Bernardo Futscher Pereira provides us with another portrait of Winston Churchill.
