The Memoirs of Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill
“I read Winston Churchhill’s War Memoirs. My wife found it for me. She knows that I like 20th century history.
The book is about Winston Churchill’s memoirs that he wrote mostly in the late 40’s and a little bit in the 50’s recalling the events leading up to and during World War II.
I disliked a little of the self-serving casemaking. There were some slow parts, I think, somewhere around Page 700 it was kind of like, “Wow, I still have 300 pages to go.” You have to be interested in history and, preferably, military history and be able to put up with, like, a 1,000-page book. Anybody who didn’t already have a really great interest in that period of time, would find it to be just too inside baseball to really care.
I give it four stars. It was a pretty darn good book. I think, with that much detail, it’s almost like you’re gonna love it if you’re already just so into that topic and time period. I don't know what portion of the reading public that is, but it starts to get pretty narrow.”
