Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Sir Winston Churchill's The Great Republic consists in large part of a magnificent narrative history of America, culled by his grandson and namesake from the Nobel Prize-winning, four-volume A History of the English Speaking People. Historian and journalist Winston S. Churchill has added his grandfather's noteworthy speeches and essays on twentieth-century America, so that The Great Republic stands as the definitive state-ment of Churchill's thoughts on the history of the country he so admired and fondly called the "Great Republic." Arguably as gifted a historian as he was a statesman, only Sir Winston Churchill could have written a book that captures America's history, destiny, and character with such brilliance. Review:"In this absorbing volume, skillfully culled by his grandson from Winston Churchill's vast literary output, the greatest Englishman of the twentieth century paints with surpassing elegance his portrait of American history and the American character. This is a good book to read--and a book to savor." --Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. "This excellent volume gives the gist of all Winston Churchill's writings and observations about American history. It is a wonderful read for Americans, and tells them a great deal about their country which many of them do not know and ought to know." --Paul Johnson, author of A History of the American People From the Hardcover edition.
