In 1953, Winston Churchill received the Nobel Prize for Literature. In fact, Churchill was a professional writer before he was a politician, and published a stream of books and articles over the course of two intertwined careers. Now historian Peter Clarke traces the writing of the magisterial work that occupied Churchill for a quarter century, his four-volume History of the English-Speaking Peoples.As an author, Churchill faced woes familiar to many others; chronically short of funds, late on deadlines, scrambling to sell new projects or cajoling his publishers for more advance money. He signed a contract for the English-Speaking project in 1932, a time when his political career seemed over. The magnum opus was to be delivered in 1939, but in that year, history overtook history-writing. When the Nazis swept across Europe, Churchill was summoned from political exile to become Prime Minister. The English-Speaking Peoples would have to wait.The book would indeed be written and become a bestseller, after Churchill left public life. But even before he took office, the massive project was shaping his worldview, his speeches and his leadership. In these pages, Peter Clarke follows Churchill's monumental quest to chronicle the English-Speaking Peoples - a quest that helped to define the enduring 'special relationship' between Britain and America. In the process, Clarke gives us not just an untold chapter in literary history, but a fresh perspective on this iconic figure: a life of Churchill the author.

The son of a USAAF bomber pilot and an Irish lass who spent the early 40s dodging German bombs and V-rockets, not always without injury, I heard conflicting opinions about Churchill in my parents' home. But one year my Christmas and birthday gifts included the TIME LIFE abridged version of THe Second World War and Vol 3 of the History of the English Speaking Peoples (1688-1815). I was hooked on Churchill the historian. I later added to my reading and library shelves his autobiographical The River War, the rest of his HESP, and (my favorite), the Marlborough biography. How did he write these classic histories and scores more? Peter Clarke's "Mr Churchill's Profession" tells the whole story, but focuses on the great man's struggle and triumph in writing "The History of the English Speaking Peoples." I say "writing" loosely, because much of his product in the last years, including both HESP and 2WW were unavoidably the work of committees who could mimic Churchill's writing style. I say unavoidably because Sir Winston needed to push out product to keep hold of his expensively beloved Chartwell estate and his luxurious lifestyle. Clarke explains how Churchill's agents and lawyers kept him financially afloat by securing the most lucrative book deals of the age, how Churchill often used advances to extend his liabilities instead of paying them off. But what also becomes clear is that Churchill was a dynamo, and an extraordinary amount of historical literature of the highest quality came from his own pen, even as he was engaged in politics (usually in opposition). Anyone interested in Churchill, his literary works, and the state of publishing during WSC's life should find this book utterly fascinating.
