"Sir Winston Churchill is one of the most remarkable and amazing men in the whole of history. "It is difficult," says Charles Eade in his Introduction to this book, "to find a historical parallel to the many-sided career of Sir Winston Churchill. His versatility and his achievements in so many different spheres of activity make him unique. There have been many statesmen who were also writers of high quality, many orators who were also men of action, many politicians who dabbled in the arts, many soldiers who experimented with the paint-brush, and, no doubt, some historians who have also ridden to hounds, piloted an aeroplane or built a brick wall. But the existence of any other man who has done all these things - and many more besides - remains unknown." To capture the multitude of talents possessed by this astonishing man, Charles Eade has here assembled descriptions of and comments about him which range from his early days at Harrow to his greatest days as a statesman in the House of Commons. He has had to range far and wide for his material, in keeping with the wide range of Churchill's abilities. Here are Sir Compton Mackenzie on "Churchill as a Novelist:; President Eisenhower on "Churchill as an Ally in War:; "Adolf Hitler on "Churchill the Hated Enemy:; Sir Alan Herbert on "Churchill's Humour", and many more - in all, thirty-nine well-deserved tributes which give for the first time between the covers of one book a complete portrait of this distinguished man as seen by his dstinguished contemporaries." - from the inner front jacket flap.
