Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was sixty-five when he began his five-year "walk with destiny," as Prime Minister during World War II, heroically guiding the British people through a terrifying period with dignity and glory. At the age of seventy-one he lost reelection, but again become Prime Minister at the age of seventy-seven, finally laying down high office at the age of eighty-one (1955). Meanwhile, he received a Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953 (at age seventy-nine), most particularly for his six-volume work, The Second World War, which he wrote from ages seventy-four to seventy-nine.
