Ronald I. Cohen is author of the Bibliography of the Writings of Sir Winston Churchill 3 Volume Set. Cohen’s fascination with Churchill began during his time with The Economist in London, shortly after his graduation from Harvard University. He began collecting Churchilliana in 1969. The publication of this major work is the culmination of 25 years’ dedicated research. Cohen is the National Chair of the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, a lawyer, founding Chairman of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television, a Genie award-winning film producer, and President of the Friends of Library and Archives Canada.
Ronald Cohen presents a richly annotated descriptive bibliography of the published writings of Sir Winston Churchill: soldier, battlefield reporter, prolific author, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Prime Minister, a Member of Parliament for 64 years, and world statesman. With a Foreword by Sir Martin Gilbert, Churchill’s official biographer, and an Introduction by The Lady Soames, this work consists of several thousand entries. Full, descriptive information is given for each work by Churchill, including contents, typography and paper, illustrations, maps, facsimiles, binding, dust jacket, publication and printing history, translations, and library/collection locations, plus detailed annotations covering the circumstances of publication.
Other sections include contributions (e.g. introductions, forewords, letters, etc.) by Churchill to works by others; speeches in volume and periodical form by one of the most compelling orators of the 20th century; and contributions to periodical literature, including letters, articles and telegrams from war zones.
