Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, famed British Prime Minister during World War II, was not only a noted statesman, but also a gifted student of oration and history.

Churchill wrote numerous pieces on history, the English language, and how to develop the skills necessary to develop a mastery of rhetoric. So gifted was Churchill that he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953:

“…for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values.”

Churchill was a lifelong student of the study of rhetoric and the art of public speaking. He was so talented that phrases and imagery that he used last to this day.
