Although Churchill is best remembered as prime minister of England during World War II, he was also an accomplished historian, having published dozens of volumes on the history of England and Europe. Additionally, he has been noted as a master of oratory. Although interest in his written works has been immeasurably enhanced by Churchill's status as a statesman, they are considered worthy of study in their own right. Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 “for his historical and biographical presentations and for the scintillating oratory in which he has stood forth as a defender of human values.” -- Winston Churchill Criticism
