About the book: year / Winston Churchill went down in British history as the most prominent politician of the 20th century, who was in power under six monarchs - starting with Queen Victoria and ending her great-great-granddaughter Elizabeth II. He managed to take part in the Anglo-Sudanese war and was present during the testing of the atomic bomb. With his invariable attributes - a bowler hat and a cane - Churchill was an excellent diplomat, writer, artist and even a gardener in his garden at Chartwell. His paintings were periodically exhibited at the Royal Academy, and in 1958 he had a personal exhibition there. Churchill is credited with the catchphrase that “history is written by the victors.” He was obese, but his performance was normal. “My secret: a bottle of cognac, a box of cigars a day, and most importantly - no physical education!” Sign of information products 12+
