In Command of History: Churchill Fighting and Writing the Second World War
Autor David Reynoldsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 noi 2007
Winston
Churchill
fought
the
World
War
II
twice
over-first
as
Prime
Minister
during
the
war,
and
then
later
as
the
war's
premier
historian.
From
1948-54,
he
published
six
volumes
of
memoirs.
They
secured
his
reputation
and
shaped
our
understanding
of
the
conflict
to
this
day.
Drawing
on
the
drafts
of
Churchill's
manuscript
as
well
as
his
correspondence
from
the
period,
David
Reynolds
masterfully
reveals
Churchill
the
author.
Reynolds
shows
how
the
memoirs
were
censored
by
the
British
government
to
conceal
state
secrets,
and
how
Churchill
himself
censored
them
to
avoid
offending
current
world
leaders.
This
book
illuminates
an
unjustly
neglected
period
of
Churchill's
life-the
Second
Wilderness
Years
of
1945-51,
when
Churchill
wrote
himself
into
history,
politicked
himself
back
into
the
prime-ministership,
and
delivered
some
of
the
most
important
speeches
of
his
career.
