Winston Churchill steered Britain through its darkest hours during World War Two. He was one of the twentieth century's greatest orators, and the speeches that he painstakingly composed, rehearsed and delivered inspired courage in an entire nation. Churchill's output was prolific - his complete speeches alone contain over 5 million words. On this special recording, the best and most important of those have been brought together in this historic volume. Using digitally remastered archive recordings, they include: 'Blood, toil, tears and sweat' / 'The Few' / 'This was their finest hour' / 'We can take it!' / 'An Iron Curtain has descended' / 'Never give in!' / 'A total and unmitigated defeat'/ 'Give us the tools'. Winston Churchill oversaw some of the most important events the world has ever seen and was the most eloquent and expressive statesman of his age. These speeches help reveal the man behind the defiant orator and demonstrate why, in a national poll, Sir Winston Churchill was voted 'Greatest Briton of All Time'. ' The most persuasive and patriotic exhortations to arms since the Agincourt address from Henry V.' - Guardian.

Mine unge år er Winston S. Churchills ungdomserindringer. Her fortæller det tyvende århundredes største statsmand om de år, der formede ham, fra tiden på kostskole og på officersskolen Sandhurst, til hans eventyrlige oplevelser som rytterløjtnant under felttogene i Indien og Sudan, som krigskorrespondent under boerkrigen, og som fremadstormende ung politiker på vej mod det engelske parlament og sin plads i historien.Bogen indeholder forord skrevet og indlæst af Uffe Ellemann-Jensen."En vidunderligt tidløs bog med et budskab til alle mennesker og til alle tider" - Uffe Ellemann-Jensen i bogens forord."Jeg besluttede at gøre et fortvivlet forsøg på at nå floden. Jeg sprang op. Pludselig så jeg lige på den anden side af jernbanen, kun adskilt fra mig af banelegemet og to ståltråds hegn, en rytter i rasende galop, en høj, mørk skikkelse med sin riffel i højre hånd. Han holdt hesten så voldsomt an, at den næsten stoppede på stedet, og råbte en kommando, idet han truede med geværet. Der var kun fyrre meter imellem os.""Jeg ville langt hellere have været i lære som murer eller løbet ærinder eller have hjulpet min far med at pynte vinduerne i en købmandsbutik. Det havde været mere virkeligt; det havde været mere naturligt … Desuden ville jeg have lært min far at kende, og det ville have været mig en fryd."
