History will be kind to me for I intend to write it' said Winston Churchill, tongue firmly in cheek. And the noted historian was well qualified to do so, winning the Nobel Prize for literature in 1953 for his historical writings. As well as a painter, statesman, orator and strategist, Churchill was Britain's most loved prime minister, leading his nation through the dark days of World War II.
