Best known as: Indefatigable prime minister of Britain during World War II
Soldier, politician and finally a prime minister, Winston Churchill was one of Britain's
greatest 20th-century heroes. He is particularly remembered for his indomitable spirit
while leading Great Britain to victory in World War II. Churchill fought with the British
Army in India and Sudan, and as a journalist was captured in South Africa (where his
dispatches from the Boer War first brought him to public prominence). He became a
member of Parliament in 1900 and remained an MP for over 64 years. His early topsy-
turvy political career earned him many enemies, but his stirring speeches, bulldog
tenacity and refusal to make peace with Adolf Hitler made him the popular choice to
lead England through World War II.One of the 20th century's most quotable wits,
Churchill wrote a plethora of histories, biographies and memoirs, including the landmark
four-volume A History of the English-speaking Peoples (1956-58). In 1953 he was
awarded theNobel Prize in Literature; he was knighted the same year.
