Winston Churchill understood and wielded the power of words throughout his six decades in the public eye. His wartime writings and speeches revealed both his vision for the future and his own personal feelings, fascinating generation after generation with their powerful style and thoughtful reflection.

The SAS: Britain’s Original Special Forces pulls back the curtain on one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. From its desert birth under the radical vision of David Stirling to the urban battlefields of counter-terrorism and beyond, the SAS has forged a reputation for ruthlessness, efficiency, and quiet excellence. Whether conducting daring raids behind enemy lines, training allied forces in jungle warfare, or silently watching from the shadows in foreign cities, the SAS operates on the cutting edge of modern combat—often invisible, but never irrelevant.

Churchill fu protagonista di una eccezionale gamma di attività ed esperienze: nominato ufficiale durante il regno della regina Vittoria, partecipò alle guerre coloniali in Africa e alle prime fasi di sviluppo dell'aviazione, ma soprattutto guidò l'Impero britannico nella sua ora più buia, durante i giorni cupi e gloriosi della Seconda guerra mondiale.
