If you cringe whenever you hear our civic leaders butcher an overrehearsed line mix a metaphor or use any number of PC abominations currently in vogue wash your ears out with this collection of speeches by a master of the English language I consider any literary work or speech by Churchill to be among the best examples of the proper use of our great and beautiful language More so than even Shakespeare because Shakespeare is so antiquated Churchill is the high priest of proper modern English Churchill had a way of mixing humor invective and sarcasm to drive home his point but never in a base or vulgar way He never pandered to the audience or talked down to them he spoke honestly in a determined and forthright manner that assumed a level of intelligence capable of understanding whatever he said Churchill was the most quotable of twentieth century world leaders Who could forget his cut at Mussolini An Italian sausage in a Sam Browne belt Or this gem about truth which should have been played weekly during the political scandals of the 1990s Truth is incontrovertible Malice may attack it and ignorance deride it but in the end there it is This book also serves as an excellent historical reference It is thoroughly indexed and has a comprehensive table of contents The editor has written a helpful preface to each series of speeches to provide background for the modern reader The book should prove interesting to any history buff and should read like poetry to those who love the English language properly used

Few people realize that Winston Churchills fame began with the name he made for himself as a war correspondent during the years of Britains last imperial wars Beginning 1897 and continuing for about 3 years thereafter he sent electrifying and unusual despatches to two London morning papers from the front lines of battle at the Northwest Frontier in India where he had found service with the Bengal Lancers from General Kitcheners campaign to resubjugate the whirling Dervishes in the Sudan and from the height of the Boer War in South Africa Churchills brilliant and fluent writing infused with immediacy and the genuine excitement of a soldier at the front earned him a place beside the most famous correspondents of the era But he never forgot his political ambitions Time and again he intruded on his own reports with comments which went far beyond the normal scope of war correspondence the rolling Churchillian perorations ringing sonorously from the tightly packed columns of type Aided by an unexpected journalist bonus provided by his capture and subsequent escape from the Boers Churchill returned to England the most glamorous national figure of the day and won a seat in the House of Commons at the age of 25 In YOUNG WINSTONS WARS Frederick Woods has brought together the raw material from which the hero and legend grew Churchills original despatches from India and the Sudan which he used as the basis for two of his earliest books THE MALAKAND FIELD FORCE and THE RIVER WAR have never been reprinted until now those from the Boer War which Mr Woods cites as a major landmark in the field of war journalism have long been unavailable They tell of a type of warfare now extinct including the use of cavalry and contain Churchills account of the charge of the 21st Lancers They also tell a good deal about young Winston himself and project an especially vivid picture of ware from the soldiers point of view
