The Island Race by Winston S. Churchill (Corgi Books, 1968)

Description

Here is a history of Britain by one of its finest statesmen, a man who had himself crucially shaped events during perhaps the greatest crisis of modern times. Churchill’s resonant prose brings to vivid and compelling life the political, constitutional and military landmarks of our history, to show that a sense of how man may live decently and democratically grew from the heritage of these islands.
