Appendix C

ARTICLES IN COLLIER’S BY WINSTON S. CHURCHILL

This appendix lists articles by Churchill that were published in Collier’s. That magazine’s circulation reached 2,700,000 in 1937, a year in which five articles and a book review by Churchill appeared. The titles indicate the range of subjects he was capable of covering, some selected after negotiations with the editors, as discussed earlier. No wonder “the great star among Collier’s contributors of the thirties was Winston Spencer Churchill.”¹
