a true time of England

can anyone better than Sir Winston tell this story, it should be standard listening for all history classes in English schools.

Fantastic Primer

Churchill is a remarkable writer and historian. None of his wisdom, knowledge, or excellence is lost here. A true version of game of thrones for the ages.

Wonderfully Classic Western Thinking

Churchill has a worldview that remains true and is sorely missed. This book is a wonderful and recharging "read".

Birth of Britain

Winston Churchill's seminal work crackles right along through centuries of British depravity and triumphs, just enough detail and on you go (although one might wish to hear a bit more of the condition of the non-noble common man). Churchill spices his research with a generous serving of opinion in a way that only one who has "been there" can do. While it was launched decades ago it remains a very contemporary history.

Game of Thrones in Real Life

George RR Martin likely pulled his entire GoT plot from Winston’s volume 1 “Birth Of Britain”
