Sir Winston Churchill's <b>The Great Republic</b> consists in large part of a magnificent narrative history of America, culled by his grandson and namesake from the Nobel Prize-winning, four-volume <b>A History of the English Speaking People</b>. Historian and journalist Winston S. Churchill has added his grandfather's noteworthy speeches and essays on twentieth-century America, so that <b>The Great Republi</b>c stands as the definitive state-ment of Churchill's thoughts on the history of the country he so admired and fondly called the &quot;Great Republic.&quot; Arguably as gifted a historian as he was a statesman, only Sir Winston Churchill could have written a book that captures America's history, destiny, and character with such brilliance.
