About This Novel
This book is a collection of character reviews by Churchill, written in 1937 at the turn of the two world wars. In this turbulent era, Churchill witnessed the First World War, the Russian Revolution, the rise of Hitler, the Spanish Revolution, the Irish Home Rule Movement and the Great Depression. He recalled Kaiser Wilhelm II, Hindenburg, Lawrence of Arabia, Foch, Clemenceau, Arthur Balfour, George V, Kitchener and other important figures in the First World War, and also looked forward to the different futures of Roosevelt and Hitler. As a leading politician in modern history, the book is immersed in his precise understanding of history, politics, and life, his rational analysis and unique insights on important issues, and his intuitive feelings about personal contacts with relevant figures. It is a rare book about characters.
