The Biographic series presents an entirely new way of looking at the lives of the world's greatest thinkers and creative. It takes the 5 defining facts, dates, thoughts, habits and achievements of each subject, and uses infographics to convey all of them in vivid snapshots. Many people know that Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was a British statesman and prime minister, a speechmaker who led Britain through the dark days of the Second World War. What, perhaps, they don't know is that he came under enemy fire over 5 times; took 36 bottles of wine, 18 of scotch and 6 of vintage brandy to the Boer War; painted over 6 works of art and won the Nobel Prize for Literature; and developed his taste for Havana cigars while working as a war correspondent in the Cuban War of Independence.
