COMMENTS — There’s a story that people were confusing this Winston Churchill, an American, with the Winston Churchill. Whereupon, the Winston Churchill wrote to this Winston Churchill, suggesting he change his name. This Winston Churchill wrote back saying he was older by three years and so had a better claim to the name. Thereafter, THE Winston Churchill signed his books Winston S. Churchill.

Reviews for The Crisis

Review - Crisis, The

Great. I like historical novels. I like the way Churchill writes, I like the Civil War. I like a little romance. I stayed up until 11:45 to finish it. It's only significant fault is that it portrays Lincoln as an infallible god and spoke of him in terms of worship.
