Churchill and Orwell

This book is a dual biography of Winston Churchill and George Orwell, who preserved democracy from the threats of authoritarianism, from the left and right alike.

Author Thomas E. Ricks puts together the lives of Churchill and Orwell to create a beautiful testament to the power of moral conviction, and to the courage it can take to stay true to it.

“An elegantly written celebration of two men who faced an existential crisis to their way of life with moral courage – and demonstrated that an individual can make a difference” – San Francisco Chronicle.

The full title of this book is “Churchill and Orwell: The Fight for Freedom”. Published by Penguin Press (May 2017).
