July 25, 1953 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents a list of new books and authors. "Winston Churchill: The Era and the Man," by Virginia Cowles, is the best popular biography of the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill contrasting pleasantly with various rankly eulogistic pot-boilers that have appeared in recent years. Not that Cowles is in the least hostile to Churchill. In fact, she compares his protean energies to those of painter Leonardo da Vinci and writes that "no one can meet this extraordinary man without a feeling of awe."
