Autorenporträt

Sir Winston S. Churchill (1874-1965) was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Celebrated as one of the greatest statesmen of the twentieth century, he was a gifted orator and historian. The author of more than forty books, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 and in 1963 was made an honorary citizen of the United States. James W. Muller is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and Chairman of the Board of Academic Advisers of the International Churchill Society. Educated at Harvard University and the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, he is a by-fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge. His two-volume edition of Churchill's early book The River War: An Historical Account of the Reconquest of the Soudan won the 2021 Churchill Literary Award. He also edited a new edition of Churchill's Thoughts and Adventures, available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series.
