Foreword by Lord Attlee.

Millions of words have been written about Winston Churchill. His triumphs and 'his set-backs, his thoughts and his actions, his leadership and his inspiration are recorded by historians, statesmen, journalists and by men and women in every walk of life who knew him. From the mass of their material-in books, newspapers and magazines-and from his own writings, The Reader's Digest has assembled this sequence of extracts to form a unique Churchill biography. First published in The Reader's Digest magazine under the title "Churchill Cavalcade," it is here presented in book form as a memorial to one of history's immortals.
