Winston Churchill was a British statesman and politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice, from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century, leading Britain through its darkest hour during World War II.
Churchill was born in 1874 and was educated at Harrow and Sandhurst. He began his career in the British Army and later transitioned into politics, serving as a Member of Parliament for over 60 years. He held several government positions throughout his career, including as the First Lord of the Admiralty, Minister of Munitions, and Secretary of State for War.
During World War II, Churchill served as Prime Minister and played a key role in leading Britain through the war. He made powerful speeches that rallied the nation and inspired the British people to keep fighting, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. His speeches are widely considered to be some of the greatest in history, with phrases such as "Never give in, never give in, never, never, never" and "We shall fight on the beaches" becoming famous.
One of Churchill's greatest achievements as Prime Minister was his strong alliance with US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. Together, they led the Allied powers to victory over Nazi Germany.
After World War II, Churchill served as Prime Minister again from 1951 to 1955 but was defeated in the general election. He remained an active Member of Parliament until 1964 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953 for his six-volume memoir of the war. He died in 1965 at the age of 90.
Churchill's legacy continues to this day, with many seeing him as a symbol of leadership, courage, and determination in the face of adversity. He is often ranked as one of the greatest British Prime Ministers, and his speeches are still studied and admired by people all over the world.
Winston Churchill was a prolific writer throughout his life, publishing books on a wide range of subjects.

Neil Richard Gaiman was born on November 10, 1960, in Portchester, England. He originated from a family of Eastern European Jewish descent. His father, David Bernard Gaiman, worked at their family chain of stores, while his mother, Sheila Gaiman, was a pharmacist. In 1965 the family moved to East Grinstead, West Sussex, where Neil grew up with a profound love for reading, beginning as early as age 4.&nbsp;
Some of his favorite childhood books include J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Batman, and other comics. Gaiman received early education at various church schools, including Fonthill School in East Grinstead, Ardingly College, and Whitgift School in Croydon.
When Gaiman began to outgrow comic books in his teenage years, he realized the lack of comic books for an older mature audience. He, therefore, decided to fill the gap himself. Although he wanted to write comic books, Gaiman had little idea how to go about it. Following his graduation from high school in 1977, Gaiman became a journalist writing articles for a number of renowned publications such as the Sunday Times, the Observer, Knave, and Time Out.&nbsp;
In March 1985, Gaiman married McGrath after the birth of their son Michael in 1983. The couple had two more children, Holly and Madeleine. In 1984, Gaiman wrote his first book, a biography of the band Duran Duran. He continued writing articles and interviews in magazines under pseudonyms. However, in 1987, Gaiman waved goodbye to journalism, stating, “British newspapers can make up anything they want and publish it as fact.”&nbsp;
Also, in the late 1980s, Gaiman published Don’t Panic: The Official Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Companion. Gaiman started writing comic books, continuing the series of Marvelman after its original creator and Gaiman’s friend Alan Moore abandoned it. After his impressive work on Marvelman, Gaiman was offered to write the limited series of Black Orchard and also to re-write an old character, The Sandman. From December 1988 to March 1966, Gaiman produced work on The Sandman, which was later collected in 12 volumes.&nbsp;
More significant comic works by Neil Gaiman include The Books of Magic (1989), Lady Justice, and Mr. Hero. The Newmatic Man, Teknophage, Tales of the White Wolf, Whatever happened to the Caper Crusader, as well as contributions to Wednesday Comics.

Put on your boots--you're about to discover why America's Founders intended for their country to be different.  Our nation was born in an act of rebellion against an all-powerful government.  The goal was a government that was blind to its people, only beholden to its citizens.  This is the story of how America took charge of its destiny and rose above oppression to become the greatest nation in world history.  Less than a decade after our nation came into being, it put down another tyrannical king, established itself as a beacon of liberty, and grew into the greatest home for men and women in the world.  Throughout these years, we have been taught that Jefferson left behind for us a set of ideas about democracy and what it means to be free.  We know he wrote those words in 1776.  But there is much more to the Declaration--much more than most learn while they are still in school.  Today, we don't do nearly enough to emphasize this part of our history.  But with this book, you can finally understand how high ideals inspired our nation's early leaders and shaped our founding document.  

Donald Trump is an American businessman, investor, author, television personality, and 45th President of the United States. He was born in Queens, New York City, and attended the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated with a degree in economics. After college, Trump moved to Manhattan and began working in real estate, eventually becoming the president of his father’s company.
During the 1980s, Trump gained a reputation as a highly successful real estate developer, expanding his business to include golf courses, hotels, and other luxury properties. He became a media personality in the 1990s and starred in the NBC reality show “The Apprentice,” in which he was portrayed as a successful businessman.
Trump was a candidate in the 2016 presidential election, running as a Republican. He won the election, beating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States on January 20, 2017. During his first year in office, Trump made a number of significant policy changes, including the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, and the introduction of a tax reform plan.
He also pursued a hard-line immigration policy, separating children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border, and ordered the construction of a wall along the border. An aggressive stance toward other countries, including North Korea and Iran, has characterized his foreign policy.
Since taking office, Trump has also been plagued by numerous scandals, including allegations of campaign finance violations and possible collusion with Russia during the 2016 election. Trump has denied any wrongdoing, and his supporters have stood by him despite the controversies. In 2020, he was impeached by the House of Representatives on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress but was acquitted by the Senate. Trump is currently running for a second term as president in the 2020 election.
Trump's term as President has been characterized by a strong sense of economic nationalism and protectionism, with the Trump administration imposing tariffs on imported goods and advocating for an “America First” policy. He has also pursued an aggressive deregulatory agenda, rolling back numerous environmental and financial regulations, and signed a series of executive orders limiting immigration from Muslim-majority countries. Trump has been a vocal advocate for the law enforcement community and has pushed for tougher sentencing laws and increased funding for law enforcement agencies.
Trump's foreign policy has been highly controversial, with the administration taking an aggressive stance toward other countries and withdrawing from or renegotiating numerous international agreements, including the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris climate accord.
Trump has also had a tumultuous relationship with the media, frequently attacking news outlets and labeling them “fake news” and “enemies of the people.” Trump has also been criticized for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 200,000 Americans. Despite criticism, Trump has remained popular with his base and is running for a second term in the 2020 election.
