WATCH PAUL McCRANE READ “ARTILLERY OF WORDS” BY FREDERICK WOODS

Frederick Woods was Winston Churchill’s original bibliographer. The publication of his A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE WORKS OF SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL in 1963 was a transformative moment in Churchill scholarship; the first true accounting of the scope and breadth of Winston Churchill as a writer. In 1992, he published ARTILLERY OF WORDS, his excellent literary analysis of “The Writings of Sir Winston Churchill.”

We are delighted to have the legendary actor and director, PAUL McCRANE as our guest reader for ARTILLERY OF WORDS .
