BOOKS

For the most useful listing of the books of Winston S. Churchill anywhere, go to Savrola, a website created and maintained by Dave Turrell.  Complete with summaries of all of Churchill's books, details on different editions, photos of the editions and covers, and other pertinent information, it is a very useful and informative site.

QUOTES & SPEECHES

The family of Sir Winston Churchill has put one of his most famous speeches online in a project to bring new technology to history lessons. A new website combines the full audio recording of Sir Winston's "Sinews of Peace" speech of 1946--also known as the "Iron Curtain" speech because Churchill used the phrase to describe the barrier enclosing the Soviet sphere of Europe--with his annotated transcript, background information and interpretation, maps and photographs. It breaks the 45-minute speech into themes and interprets them against both events of the time and their relevance today.

Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms in London, 

 

The Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms in London is the world's leading museum dedicated to the great man. It welcomes all visitors interested in seeing for themselves the authentic surroundings in which Churchill conducted the war. Visitors are able to walk the corridors of the secret underground headquarters of the British government where Churchill himself walked, and view the rooms that formed the nerve centre of the British fight against Nazism. Visitors are now also able to visit the new award-winning Churchill Museum, which explores Churchill's life and achievements. Opened in 2005, the £6m attraction has won awards for its original artefects, technological sophistication and intelligent interpretation.
