My Early Life

Product Information

The book was published after the Conservative Party lost the 1929 election and consequently Churchill ceased to be a member of the government.

Events were soon to arise in the fiscal sphere which were to plunge me into new struggles and absorb my thoughts and energies at least until September 1908, when I married and lived happily ever afterwards. Overall I'm glad I read it and I know a lot more about this great man of British history than I did before. It is a fascinating book and considering it was written by someone born almost 140 years ago, still has relevance for young and old today. Keista, kad apie būsimą žmoną, susižavėjimą ja, gimstančią meilę, apsisprendimą tuoktis – knygoje nieko!It is an elegiac portrayal of the halcyon period of Edwardian content before the First World War, and deeply revealing of one of the dominating personalities of the twentieth century.

It is through these young eyes we view expansionary colonialist policies of the conservate establishment with romanticism and adventure. Furthermore, it allows the focus to be on Churchill’s charismatic personality rather than his politics.There are a few outdated attitudes, almost inevitable in a work of this vintage, and it must be admitted there is a fair bit of the “Huzzah! He came of age during the last of the Victorian Era, when Britain thought it still "ruled the world". Here, in his own words, are the fascinating first thirty years in the life of one of the most provocative and compelling leaders of the twentieth century: Winston Churchill.
