内容説明
Early in 1937, the enterprising owner of an independent press service made Winston Churchill an irresistible offer. He would place Churchill's articles on current world events in major newspapers across Europe--and for significantly more money than Churchill's present agent. "I am absolutely convinced," Emery Reves assured Churchill, "that you will find the diffusion of your articles satisfactory."So began a profitable business relationship that grew into an enduring personal friendship. In this book, Martin Gilbert chronicles that relationship through the correspondence of Winston Churchill and Emery Reves. He preserves a compelling record of how each man used the other's talents to forward a cause that passionately engaged them both--the spread of democratic ideals in a post-totalitarian world.
The correspondence ranges from short notes to lengthy letters and reveals the important role that Reves played in Churchill's writing life. Before World War II, Reves worked untiringly to place Churchill's pro-democracy articles in newspapers around the world. After the war, he acted as agent and editor for Churchill's war memoirs and his four-volume History of the English-Speaking Peoples and ultimately made Churchill one of the highest-paid authors of nonfiction in the twentieth century. The Churchill-Reves correspondence will be essential reading for all students and scholars of the Churchill era.
