The English-speaking peoples comprise perhaps the greatest number of human beings sharing a common language in the world today. These people also share a common heritage. For his four-volume work, Sir Winston Churchill took as his subject these great elements in world history. Volume 1 commences in 55 BC, when Julius Caesar famously "turned his gaze upon Britain" and concludes with the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.Don't miss the rest of the titles in this great series!

    can anyone better than Sir Winston tell this story, it should be standard listening for all history classes in English schools.

    I have my differences with the idea of Churchill as a great leader. His gifts were many and so were his faults and a lot of the myth surrounding him drives out consideration of his darker qualities. But boy oh boy, he could write.

    History as presented here is clearly on the side of the "great man" theory and there is little discussion of how the rest of the folks live. Despite this view, the story of England's early years is told in a compelling and highly interesting way.

    For those looking to have an overview of how things progressed through the War of the Roses, this is the book. Narrator does a very fine job with some great prose.

    Churchill is incredibly verbose, but thoroughly entertaining in his seminal work. Definitely worth a listen before, during, or after a visit to Britain.

    Churchill has a worldview that remains true and is sorely missed. This book is a wonderful and recharging "read".

    Churchill is a remarkable writer and historian. None of his wisdom, knowledge, or excellence is lost here. A true version of game of thrones for the ages.

    Fantastic Primer

    Winston Churchill's seminal work crackles right along through centuries of British depravity and triumphs, just enough detail and on you go (although one might wish to hear a bit more of the condition of the non-noble common man). Churchill spices his research with a generous serving of opinion in a way that only one who has "been there" can do. While it was launched decades ago it remains a very contemporary history.

    George RR Martin likely pulled his entire GoT plot from Winston’s volume 1 “Birth Of Britain”

    Let’s see. We want to rate the writing of Winston Churchill? Really? It’s perfect. If we lose all English literature but kept this, the Martians will be really impressed. The narrator is okay, not great. The story is well, history!

    Are you kidding me?

    I think this is a rare example of a well-done history from a historical figure. The book is interesting both as a history of the birth of Britain in and of itself, but also in as much as it shines light on Churchill himself and how he sees his role, and the role of his country in the world.

    Churchill does a surprisingly good job
