Review: The Age of Revolution
The Age of Revolution by Winston S. Churchill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Subtitled "The Age of Revolution" this 3rd volume in Churchill's "A History of the English Speaking Peoples" breathlessly covers with Winston's enthusiasm, erudition and insight a world at war from the rise of William of Orange (William III of England) to the decline of Napoleon and his final exile to remote St. Helena. In all this striving, war, and revolution, the American Revolution is merely a significant episode.
