“I like Churchill's writing, but you must understand that the events he spends the most time on are the military, political and financial events in England, to the exclusion of science, art and social events. I've read many descriptions of the attack on Bunker Hill during the American Revolution, and none of them were as clear as this one written by an Englishman. He simply tells what happened and in his simplicity, he is very moving. This history is written in broad strokes. Normally, I would be bored to tears reading about so many battles and politicians, yet I found this riveting. I can only credit the writer.”
