Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill (1874–1965) was a British statesman, army officer, and writer who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during some of the nation’s most difficult years, including World War II. He’s widely admired for his leadership during adversity and is remembered for his powerful speeches and sharp wit.
