Book Description:

Although Churchill is a 1953 Nobel laureate in literature whose collected works run to thirty-eight volumes that remain of enduring interest, his famous speeches have overshadowed his other writing. Winston Churchill's Imagination concentrates on less familiar works in modes other than political rhetoric. Its method is close analysis of how Churchill engages readers with those words and ideas that are hallmarks of his imagination.
