Churchill in "Quotes": Wit and Wisdom from the Great Statesman

Enjoyable

I bought this book for a friend when I was in England at the Churchill War Rooms; and I liked it so much that I bought a copy for myself from Amazon.

Lots of good pictures, but I would have enjoyed a few more famous quotes. This makes a great gift for people whowant to learn more about Churchill.

It was a gift - recipient loved it.

Gave several copies to friends!

The book was everything I expected. A great reference gift to my schoolaged grandsons.

Historical, biographical and witty.

Winston Churchill is regarded by some as the greatest Briton who ever lived. Certainly, when it comes to humorous, insightful, stirring and acerbic use of the English language, Churchill had few rivals. CHURCHILL IN QUOTES, published in 2011 by Ammonite Press, is the latest collection of WC wit and wisdom. It's a hoot.CHURCHILL IN "QUOTES," WIT AND WISDOM FROM THE GREAT STATESMAN dishes up over 200 witticisms by the great man. The quotes are arranged chronologically, the first dates from 1898; the last, from the early 1960s. Churchill was a master of the English language and used it to perfection. Most of his most memorable bon mots are here: the classic wartime quotes ("We shall never surrender," "Blood, toil, tears and sweat," "Some chicken, some neck") along with the dead-on "Iron Curtain" prophecy, the wonderful rejoinder to Bessie Braddock, the classic Clement Attlee put-down and on and on.The quotes are illustrated with vintage pix of Churchill from England's Press Association Images. It's interesting seeing Churchill age as you page through the book.If you're a Churchill fan or just a lover of the English language, CHURCHILL IN "QUOTES" will entertain you even as it reminds you of how powerful and funny and touching language can be when practiced by a master. Highly recommended.

It was a present and my brother liked it as he could dip in and out of it.

Bought this for a friend. He loves it.

This is by far the best book of Churchill's quotes.If you only buy one book - buy this one.

This book contains loads of pictures and interesting quotes from the man himself! Highly recommended. Too bad there wasn't this quote from him: "Remember, gentlemen, it's not just France we are fighting for, it's champagne!"A man who knows how to live, bravo!!!!

Found this to be highly amusing and brutally honest. Great read. Started quoting the great man
