Churchill's great history of the Anglosphere. A four volume history of Britain and its former colonies written by Winston Churchill, and covering Britain's history between 55BC and 1902.
One contemporary reviewer wrote of it - "This history will endure; not only because Sir Winston has written it, but also because of its own inherent virtues its narrative power, its fine judgement of war and politics, of soldiers and statesmen, and even more because it reflects a tradition of what Englishmen in the hey-day of their empire thought and felt about their country's past."
