Getting Started on Churchill – Annotated List

The Churchill Centre’s website at www.winstonchurchill.org is an excellent resource, particularly as an aid to thinking about a research topic. The site features a large selection of Churchill’s speeches in both written and audio formats, an introductory biography, hundreds of articles, “Leading Churchill Myths” and much, much more.

Past issues of Finest Hour, the Churchill Centre’s quarterly journal, are archived on The Churchill Centre’s website (select Publications) at www.winstonchurchill.org. Issues older than one year are available to the public upon completion of free registration. Scholars and members from around the world contribute articles and reviews to the journal.

An unusual fact is that Churchill has an “Official Biography,” referred to by aficionados as “the O.B.”: Winston S. Churchill by Randolph Churchill (volumes I and II) and British historian Sir Martin Gilbert (Volumes III-VIII). In addition, the first six volumes have companion volumes of related documents. Read about the biography and the meaning of “official.”
