      Introduction

      Winston Churchill, a colourful, ambitious and combative character, is considered to be one of the greatest British heads of state of the 20th century. He is primarily known for his role as Prime Minister during the Second World War, when he encouraged his nation and the rest of the Allies to keep fighting and refused to give up on freedom, which he saw as an essential value. Nonetheless, his political career, which spanned over 50 years, was much bigger than this and was always characterised by an iron will. Although many remember him as a widely respected and well-liked figure, his character often inspired criticism and he experienced a series of painful failures which left him shut out of the political life of his time. However, he never let himself be beaten and always faced adversity head on.

      As well as a man of action, he was also a talented orator who had a way with words, both in speech and in writing. His substantial literary output, which brings together impassioned speeches and historical works in which facts are accompanied by detailed and insightful personal analysis, is proof of this. Indeed, Churchill always made sure that he played a role in history and was partially responsible for shaping his own image. In this way, he left his mark on his age and, even after his death, this ‘old lion’ continues to fascinate us.
