A History of the English-Speaking Peoples.

Churchill’s last great work, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples traces the development of Britain and its influence on the broader English-speaking world. Written between 1937 and 1956, the series covers key events from Julius Caesar’s invasion of Britain to the end of the 19th century. Churchill blends narrative history with personal insight, highlighting themes of liberty, governance, and shared cultural heritage. The work remains a testament to Churchill’s literary skill and his deep admiration for the resilience and legacy of the English-speaking nations. "Churchill’s last great work was published nearly 20 years after he penned its first draft in the late 1930s, just after wrapping up [the biography of] Marlborough. This enabled him to utilize the literary team he had assembled for the biography, to which he added dozens of outlines he had solicited from scholars In its final form the original single volume evolved to four, each of which was published simultaneously in Britain, the USA and Canada—a first for Churchill’s works" (Langworth, 312).
