April 9 is Winston Churchill day so I have requested this book from the
library to scan:
*Winston Churchill*
Ashworth, Leon.
School Library Journal Review
Gr 5-8-This is a "cradle to grave," objective portrayal of the statesman's
life and accomplishments. While the author is clearly impressed with his
subject, he touches not only on the prime minister's wartime leadership, but
also on his shortcomings and postwar decline. The book is well organized,
with a time line of important events on each spread, and with the text
divided into short, easily understood sections. A "Places to Visit" box
appears at the end of the book. The excellent illustrations include
full-color and duotone photographs that could tell a story on their
own.-Robyn Ryan Vandenbroek, Elgin Court Public School, St. Thomas, Ontario,
