Winston Churchill is often remembered as a great statesman, but
is rarely thought of as a great political thinker. More than
any other book by Winston Churchill, Thoughts and
Adventures, a collection of essays from the 1920s, allows the
contemporary reader to grasp the extraordinary variety and depth of
Churchill's mature thoughts on the questions facing modern
man. Churchill begins by asking, "What would it be like to
live life over again?" In pondering these questions,
Churchill touches on spies, cartoons, submarines, elections,
flying, and the future of modern liberal democracy.
