At the height of the presidential primary season, with Hillary and Rudy, Obama and Mitt, Edwards and Huckabee barnstorming Iowa and New Hampshire, Penguin Classics revives a political speechmaker par excellence to show the Democrats and Republicans just how it's done. Winston Churchill, the most eloquent and expressive statesman of his time, is the only political leader to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. In the words of Edward R. Murrow, "He mobilized the English language, and sent it into battle." Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat collects thirty-three of Churchill's greatest speeches in a volume edited by David Cannadine, one of the foremost historians of modern Britain. Marking the debut of Churchill in Penguin Classics, and published to coincide with the new HBO miniseries Churchill at War, Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat is a touchstone volume against which to test the oratorical mettle of the men and woman who would be president, and an essential addition to the library of every Churchill fan.
