Hero of the Empire - Candice Millard
Where do the individuals come from who are able to unite the entire nation at a difficult moment? What determines the destinies of the heroes — personal choice or life circumstances? Winston Churchill at the age of 24 was convinced that he would reach the absolute top in politics. His ambition, purposefulness, and confidence forced others to adopt this opinion. However, it took Winston forty years to work his way into the highest political cabinet. The book describes the period of the Anglo-Boer War - a stage that, according to Churchill, became the foundation of his future life.
Churchill and Orwell. The battle for freedom
In 1937, George Orwell returned to Great Britain after the war in Spain, where he was seriously wounded. Meanwhile, in another corner of the country, Winston Churchill, who has already repeatedly experienced war disagreements, is leading his next fight against the appeasement policy of the aggressor. These two great historical figures, the prime minister and the writer, who never met in person and led very different lives, turn out to be connected by something more than meets the eye. Both were adventurous, daring, and full of ideas ahead of their time - and both have become more relevant than ever these days.
