This is WHY I love sharing book lists...we all may find books we then want to read! :-)
1)Marlborough: His Life and Times, by Winston Churchill
2)My Early Life, by Winston Churchill
3)Speaking For Themselves: The Personal Letters of Winston and Clementine Churchill, by Mary Soames
4)A Daughter's Tale: The Memoir of Winston and Clementine Churchill's Youngest Child, by Mary Soames
Have you read and or seen the movie made from Darkest Hour, by Anthony McCarten? I read the book loooooooooooooooong before the movie was made.
I have several other books that you also might like, but I think I may have overloaded you, already, by yesterday's and today's lists. And thus far, we have both read several several of the same books, that you have have listed, so I left them out of my lists.
If you care to, we can do lists to each other, in FRmail, about books on other topics, which we both might be interested in.
Of course I’ve seen Darkest Hour, which was a very endearing portrait of the man, but he was never a bombastic speaker that I’ve heard, and I doubt that would have gone over well in the House of Commons. The football cheers would have been out of place. His “defend our island regardless of the costs” speech was delivered in a deadpan calm voice, which made it more powerful. I’ve heard the original.
By all means, do let’s continue to exchange books. Especially about and by Churchill. I have an Australian friend who has several of his multi-volumed histories, but he would never part with them.
