Description

Telegraph on Winston Churchill is a collection of articles on Churchill from the archives of the Telegraph. Drawing together the best contributions and reports, it will feature the key events, decisions and moments in Churchill's life. Churchill held power during one of the most turbulent times in recent history, and his life and deeds have been fastidiously documented in print, covering everything from the various wars of which he was a part, to his political policy, witicisms and speeches, and eventual death. This book will draw together the best of the paper's reportage to create a new account of Churchill's life and times, as depicted though the pages of the Telegraph. The aim is to publish this book in May 2015, to coincide with Churchill 2015: A unique initiative to celebrate the life and legacy of Sir Winston Churchill, fifty years after his death, sixty years after his first resignation as prime minister, and seventy-five years after his 'finest hour' in 1940.
Organisations such as Blenheim Palace, The House of Parliament, The Churchill Centre, Churchill War Rooms and Imperial War Museum are just some of the participants confirmed as hosting Churchill 2015, and will provide opportunities to promote the book.
