Churchill in Quotes celebrates the life and wit of this iconic figure – combining archive photography with the inspiring speeches, wry remarks and cutting comments he was known for. Sir Winston Churchill, statesman, orator and former Prime Minister was a man whose words gave hope and inspiration to the British people, and many are as relevant today as they were during the war years.

• Formation of government as wartime Prime Minister and the political and cabinet posts held during almost 50 years
• His career as a historian and author and his hobby as a sensitive artist
• The many honours bestowed upon him, his decline, retirement and death at the age of 90 and the state funeral granted to him by the Quee
