Winston Churchill was one of the most eloquent and expressive statesmen of his time, pouring forth words in polished speeches that aimed to inspire, exhort, persuade, bully and cajole. This selection of Churchill's oratory demonstrates the development of Churchill's style from the laboriously crafted utterings of the young MP, to the moment when, as Prime Minister in 1940, he mobilized the English language and sent it into battle. Unsuccessful speeches characteristic of earlier stages of his career and personality are also included. Each speech includes an introduction.
