Críticas:

"You have taken the measure of your foe, you only have to go forward with confidence." -- Dundee, June 1915 "All is over. Silent, mournful, abandoned, broken, Czechoslovakia recedes into darkness." -- House of Commons, October 1938 "We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire.... Give us the tools, and we will finish the job." -- BBC broadcast, February 1941

Reseña del editor:

Winston Churchill 'mobilized the English language and sent it into battle'. President John F. Kennedy conferring Honorary US Citizenship, April 1963 'This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigour, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.' 1938 'Our qualities and deeds must burn and glow through the gloom of Europe until they become the veritable beacon of its salvation.' 1940 'We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire...Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.' 1941 Winston Churchill was the most eloquent and expressive statesman of his age. When Britain stood alone and all but defenceless, with his resolute and pugnacious tone and puckish sense of humour he inspired his fellow-countrymen to resist, to fight and to conquer. While the definitive collection of Churchill's speeches fills eight volumes, here, his grandson, Winston S. Churchill, has put together a personal selection of his favourite speeches in a single volume. He has chosen from his grandfather's entire output covering the whole of Churchill's life, from his maiden speech to his last days. It includes Churchill's best-known speeches as well as some that have never been published in popular form.
