The Statesman as Author

Room to be announced.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
Winston Churchill's career as a writer was even longer than his career in politics, beginning with his first book on Queen Victoria's "little wars" in 1898 and ending with his History of the English-Speaking Peoples six decades later. He wrote more than forty books and in 1953 won the Nobel Prize for Literature. What kind of books did he write, what was his purpose in writing them, and what did he achieve as a writer?
