    A Biography of Winston Churchill

    par Christopher Catherwood ...

Often enough to form a discernible pattern, Australia found itself on the wrong side of the very qualities-his strength of will, singleness of purpose, his refusal to 'give way, in things great or small, large or petty', the power of his imagination to set grim reality at defiance, his mastery of the English language-that made Winston ...

    The First World War as Political Tragedy

    par David Stevenson ...
    David Stevenson's widely acclaimed history of World War I changes forever our understanding of that pivotal conflict.

    In May 1940, with France on the verge of defeat, Britain alone stood in the path of the Nazi military juggernaut.
