About the book: 2024 / "This book does not pretend to compete with the works of professional historians. Rather, its purpose is to present its own point of view on the processes by which English-speaking peoples throughout the world have achieved their special position and acquired a special reputation,” writes W. Churchill, Prime Minister of Great Britain in 1940 - 1945 and 1951 - 1955; winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. In his book he shows the history of Britain from ancient times to the accession to the throne of the Tudor dynasty. Having selected the most significant events over more than a thousand years, Churchill, using their example, analyzes the features of the national character of the British and leads the reader to the conclusion of why this country was destined to become the mistress of the world.
