Winston Churchill’s “A History of the English-Speaking Peoples” told an epic tale of 2,200 years of history. Now “historian Andrew Roberts has taken on the daunting task of picking up where Churchill’s narrative left off, at the dawn of the 20th century. Roberts is writing a fifth volume to add to the four Churchill wrote. It will trace the main events of the 20th century chronologically, with the wartime leader himself a dominant figure.”
