【 Content Introduction 】
This is Churchill's only collection of character reviews, written in 1937 at the turn of the two world Wars. During this tumultuous period, 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 recalls the important figures of the First World War such as Kaiser Wilhelm II, Hindenburg, Lawrence of Arabia, Foch, Clemenceau, Arthur Balfour, George V, Kitchener, and looks forward to the different futures of Roosevelt and Hitler. As a leading politician in modern history, the book is steeped in his accurate understanding of history, politics, and life, rational analysis of important issues and unique insights, and intuitive feelings of personal contact with relevant figures. It is a rare book of characters and a book of The Times.
