Writer................................

Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was a busy man.    He was a world traveler, polo player, soldier, war correspondent, politician,  member of Parliament, government official (President of the Board of Trade, Home Secretary,  First Lord of the Admiralty  Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, and Secretary of State for Air, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and lest we forget, Prime Minister), statesman, historian, writer, speaker, author, painter, and noted aficionado of cigars.  He was Adolf Hitler's foremost opponent, a symbol of determination and defiance, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, and pretty much a walking contradiction.  While politics, public service and leadership in time of war may be what Churchill is best known for, the man never stopped writing (or giving dictation, if you prefer).  His output was considerable.  While this list may not be complete, it will give an idea as to his fascination with the written word.
