Step by Step. Illustrated

Step by Step is a compelling collection of Winston S. Churchill’s newspaper articles and essays written between 1936 and 1939, a time of mounting global tension and looming war. In these writings, Churchill chronicles the step-by-step collapse of international peace, offering sharp analysis and urgent warnings about the rise of Nazi Germany, the weakness of the League of Nations, and the policy of appeasement pursued by Britain and other Western powers.

With characteristic clarity and force, Churchill voices his deep concerns over Britain’s lack of preparedness and the West’s failure to confront growing threats. Each article builds a case for rearmament and strong leadership, showcasing his foresight in an era when his views were often dismissed or ignored.

More than just political commentary, Step by Step captures a critical moment in world history through the eyes of one of its most influential figures. The book reflects Churchill’s unwavering conviction, rhetorical brilliance, and moral courage during a time of widespread denial and uncertainty.

Today, Step by Step stands as a vital historical document and a reminder of the consequences of inaction in the face of aggression. It remains a powerful testament to Churchill’s role as a voice of reason before the storm of World War II.
