1 total work
Each book in the "Great Lives" series tells the life story of famous men and women of the past and present. This book gives an account of the life of Winston Churchill, the great British statesman. It describes his privileged childhood and background, his developing military interest, his participation as a journalist in the Boer War, his entry into Parliament, the part he played in World War I and his long political career. The author also examines both his strengths and weaknesses. Rupert Matthews has written many children's books, including "Julius Caesar" for the "Great Lives" series.
