Irrepressible Churchill Through His Own Words and the Eyes of His Contemporaries

Kay Halle spent 30 years in frequent company with Winston Churchill. Her journalists instincts are responsible for this rich, well-researched compendium of Sir Winston's wit and wisdom which - unlike most imitations - is carefully attributed and organized for ease of reference. The book takes us through his life from childhood to extreme old age, mainly in his own words. Included is his observation that 'Itis better to be frightened than killed hereafter' as well as the little known aside in his rallying speech after Dunkirk: 'We will fight them with the butt end of broken bottles because that's bloody well all we've got!'Halle, Kay is the author of 'Irrepressible Churchill Through His Own Words and the Eyes of His Contemporaries' with ISBN 9781861053350 and ISBN 1861053355.
