The future British prime minister and Nobel laureate wrote his memoirs in 1930 — during the break between two global wars, at the age of 54, when it seemed to the author that it was time to take stock of life.
The future British prime minister and Nobel laureate wrote his memoirs in 1930 — during the break between two global wars, at the age of 54, when it seemed to the author that it was time to take stock of life. His style is ironic, the style is brilliant, the epithets are refined, and the autobiography itself reads like a fascinating novel, where there was a place for battles, deeds, captivity, heroic flight and triumph at home. Unlike the author himself, who in 1930 could not foresee his future, we know that this is only the beginning, and the main page of Sir Winston’s biography is yet to come.
