His clarity of thought and the remarkable way in which he uses the English language, rather than mangling it, is a continuing delight.

Churchill is wise; Churchill is witty and Churchill is a great literary voice, one of the greatest. He stands with the greatest authors in the English language—even with Shaw, perhaps higher since he was wiser. To me along with Dickens, Shakespeare and the Bible he is an indispensable English langauge author and orator. And don’t just trust me -trust John F. Kennedy and so many others who believed as I do. I look forward to your next book.
