	The Greatest Churchill Speeches - Never Give in! Audiobook Sir Winston Churchill’s greatest speeches digitally remastered, selected and introduced by his grandson Winston S. Churchill. Winston Churchill steered Britain through its darkest hours during World War Two. He was one of the twentieth century’s greatest orators, and the speeches that he painstakingly composed, rehearsed and delivered inspired courage in an entire nation. Churchill’s output was prolific – his complete speeches alone contain over 5 million words. Price: £8.45


	Churchill Remembered A fascinating and illuminating audio portrait of the life and career of one of Britain's greatest leaders, recounted by those who knew him and in his own words from the BBC archive. From his earliest days, Churchill was an ambitious character, eager for action. He achieved fame and popularity through his dispatches from the Boer War, and until the outbreak of war in 1939 Churchill was loved and loathed in equal measure. Critics and supporters alike recognized his vision but often questioned his judgment. On the day Churchill took office as Prime Minister, Hitler invaded the Low Countries; by mid-June, France had fallen. A lesser man would have been overwhelmed. Even his opponents do not doubt his greatness as a leader during the Second World War. But the 1945 election brought a shock defeat. Despite this setback, in 1951 at the age of 77 he returned to serve a second term as Prime Minister. Price: £8.45


	Churchill the Finest Hours Made in 1964 with Churchill's co-operation and blessing, Peter Baylis' film is a remarkable collector's item, which offers a broad-brush biography of the man as well as excellent archive of his leadership of Britain through the war. Made the more moving by a commentary adapted from Churchill's own stirringly written history of the Second World War and with sound archive of his broadcasts to the nation, this is a documentary, which frequently brings a lump to the throat. This film charters the life of the war leader who rallied Britain and its Allies and led them to victory over Nazi Germany and the Axis of Evil. An essential film about one of Britain's greatest men. Running Time: 111 mins Price: £13.00
