Charismatic, erudite and often controversial Winston Churchill was one of the most inspiring leaders of the 20th century, and one of its greatest wits. His much-celebrated sense of fun and mischief has led to many of his jokes and ripostes becoming almost as well known as his famous wartime speeches. Langworth includes all Churchill's most famous quips and witticisms, as well as little known asides and observations. Developed with the co-operation of the estate of Sir Winston Churchill, this book captures the great statesman at his most eloquent, witty, and engaging.
