Churchill.The best history of America ever written is embedded in the four volumes and two-thousand-odd pages of Winston Churchill's Nobel Prize-winning A History of the English People. Never before has America's story been told with such authority and piercing insight. The New York Timesdescribed the original series as "both massive and readable, authoritative and exciting, instructive and pleasurable, stimulating and abundantly fair...Witty, vigorous,ironical, invariably instinct with life. The legacy of a man of superhuman energy, great intellectual powers, and the utmost simplicity of soul." It is an enthralling love song to America by one of the great men of our century.
