- What it is
- A review of Cita Stelzer's book Working with Winston, which draws on the oral testimony of Churchill's secretaries held in the Churchill Archive. The review says Churchill's writings and speeches were dictated from 1900 on.
- How much weight it carries
- A review on a Churchill-focused site, so it reports the book's account rather than the archive itself. It is a reliable summary of the pattern of dictation, but it does not document individual books in detail.
