The New World, Vol. II of A History of the English-Speaking Peoples, by Winston S. Churchill. 433 pp. New York: Dodd, Mead and Company. $6.00

This, the second volume of Churchill’s History of the English-Speaking Peoples, fully confirms the judgment I made of the first volume in these pages (national review, June 20): “Greater histories of England have been written, but none, I think, approaches this one in verve, in its surging power of narration, in its creation of compelling images of individual men in historic action…. It is history in the grand style.”
