Welcome to Litsy!

The first volume in Churchill's "The Second World War" is a relevant and compelling read which lays bare the failure of the democracies to stop the Nazi menace in advance of the war. While at times Winston's attention to detail in government affairs can be a bit dry, the action packed naval encounters make for an enjoyable read. Highly recommended to any student of history (and curious felines) #WW2 #Churchill #CatsOfLitsy

Reading about the Soviet invasion of Finland in 1939 with snow on the ground outside and a sleeping kitty in my lap. #perfectSunday #ww2 #catsoflitsy

Kitty knows Churchill is interesting but would like some attention right now please #WW2 #History #Churchill #CatsOfLitsy

My husband bought this set of books written by Winston Churchill at a Goodwill shop in Sarasota, Florida for $20. We had to pack our suitcases carefully to accommodate them for the journey back to Northern Ireland! I married a keeper. 😍

I've just started reading Churchill's Second World War volumes. He begins with the lead up to #WW2 in this book "The Gathering Storm". Interestingly he won the Pulitzer Prize in Literature for this work which was as controversial at the time at Bob Dylan winning it this year! Incidentally the prize sits in the Churchill Museum in the Churchill War Rooms in #London if you ever get a chance to visit. #Churchill #BritishHistory @hmhbooks
