Famous for his love for art and literature, Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was a politician, an army officer, and a writer. He was one of the most active pre-war anti-Nazi campaigners, becoming British Prime minister in 1940 and again in 1951. Considered one of the most iconic figures of the 20th Century, Churchill dreamt of building the ‘United States of Europe’. In 1953 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his ‘brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values’.
