Free Churchill: The Prophetic Statesman Ebooks To Download
"Perhaps it is a cliche that a politician thinks of the next election and a statesman of the next generation, yet my grandfather found merit in the maxim. He had known leaders he esteemed as the greatest of statesmen…Churchill, however, was the leader he admired above all…In hundreds of studies of Churchill, no one else, remarkably enough, has focused on Churchill's predictions and prophecies. James Humes has produced a book that is unique as well as necessary for an understanding of statesmanship."—David Eisenhower, author and senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute

Whether you know nothing about Winston Churchill or consider yourself a Churchill expert, this book is a worthwhile read. "Churchill-The Prophetic Statesman" reveals a unique characteristic of the famous British Prime Minister. When most people recall the colorful statesman, his sharp wit and leadership skills usually come to mind. However, as the author, Mr. James Humes, points out, there's even more to Mr. Churchill than these well known traits: his uncanny ability to predict the future. The book chronicles some of his earliest predictions as far back as the turn of the 20th century to more modern occurrences such as the formation of the European Union. There is an additional plus derived from the book. Not only is the reader made aware of Churchill's prophetic abilities but insight is offered into his character, nature and beliefs. Also, interesting historical information surrounding his life is provided.
There are many books about Winston Churchill but this one is unique. Whereas others may feature all or a portion of his life “Churchill: The Prophetic Statesman” is essentially a collection of statements and predictions made by Churchill that came true. The predictions run a broad gamut from the start of World War I, his own return to power, Arab Radicalism, the fall of Hitler and the Iron Curtain, the development of atomic weapons and the date of his own death to name just a few.I view this work with two biases in mind. First, I have the highest respect for Winston Churchill. Second, I have a suspicion for anyone who picks prior statements and finds fulfillment in subsequent developments. I think that author James Humes makes a good case for the premise that Churchill’s greatness was based in large part on his vision that extended far beyond that of most people. I remain skeptical that all of the examples he gives are really fulfilled prophecies. I suspect that some are taken out of context and applied to events to which they bear no relationship. That notwithstanding this is an interesting book that stimulates the mind to ponder Churchill’s greatness, his magnificent career and, yes, his prophetic vision.
my dad has read many Churchill books (pretty much all of them you can think of) so I was not only pleased that he hadn't read this yet when I gave it to him, but also that this book provided many facts that are not included in other works! This book introduced a side of Churchill that he had not known about and was very pleased. five stars!
I bought this for my brother-in-law who is a Churchill Enthusiast, and he started reading it the minute he opened the package and was taking notes within a few minutes. Wow! Good score!!!
I am a Churchill fan, so reading this was fun and easy for me. Others may find it jumps around a bit and the language at times get a bit too flowery. But the nuggets and facts are more than enough to hold your attention.
It was hard to put this one down. Well written and referenced. I now like Winnie even more than before.
I have always enjoyed WWII history, but knew very little about Churchill. This is a great way to learn about him and will leave you wanting to learn more. He was a student of history and able to impartially dissect men and their motives allowing him to see the big picture and make hard decisions.
If you are searching for a history ofChurchill, this is the lace to begin and maybe end.A wonderful book, well written and finely illustrated.
