This is not the British Winston Churchill. This Winston Churchill is an American novelist born in St Louis, Missouri in 1871. Both Churchills communicated with each other and because the American Churchill was the first to publish, Sir Winston Churchill published his works under the name Winston S Churchill. The American Churchill was an officer in the U S Navy. He also was a novelist, essayist, and poet. His novels written in a naturalist style often expressed his political views. In 1898 Churchill published his first novel The Celebrity. In 1917, he toured the battlefields of World War I and wrote his first nonfiction work about what he saw. Churchill advocates a new political party based on the teachings of modern social science. He also is in favor of a centralized economy which would be more efficient. He proposes that income be taxed above the necessary cost of family maintenance.
