Sir Winston Churchill remains a British hero,lauded for his oratorical skill. He wrote histories,biographies,memoirs,and even a novel,while his journalism,speeches and broadcasts run to millions of words. From 1940 he inspired and united the British people and guided their war effort. Behind the public figure,however,was a man of vast humanity and enormous wit. His most famous speeches and sayings have passed into history but many of his aphorisms,puns and jokes are less well-known. This enchanting collection brings together hundreds of his wittiest remarks as a record of all that was best about this endearing,conceited,talented and wildly funny Englishman.Also available in the series:(9781782433651) The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II(9781782435426) The Wicked Wit of Oscar Wilde(9781782435662) The Wicked Wit of Jane Austen
