A review by evamadera1
The Great Democracies by Winston Churchill
3.0
I was unaware that this was the fourth in a series. I will definitely be adding the first three to my list if for no other reason than to gain a better understanding of it's author.
Churchill demonstrates both his skill and shortcomings as a historian in this work. For example, some of his vocabulary illustrates both the views of time period he was raised in and some of his own prejudices.
Additionally, the narrative feels a bit too heavily weighted towards America than I expected or wanted. I'm looking forward to a reading a few books on English history that I have coming up on my list. Some of these transitions between countries/topics were a bit awkward as well.
Blemishes aside, I did enjoy this book and can't wait to read the rest.
