Why biographers are interested in Orwell is understandable because he led a life that was unusual for a writer. He was a British policeman in Burma, a dishwasher in Paris, and an investigative journalist in England; he was also a bookstore assistant, schoolmaster, grocer, and foreign correspondent. Orwell's interest in military affairs is apparent in his essays and reviews, many of which touch on military questions.

Winston Churchill and the Formation of the United Nations Organization. Retrieved from JSTOR
Despite the vast amount of literature concerned with Churchill, relatively little has concentrated upon the nonmilitary aspects of his policy during World War II. In particular, Churchill's views on the League and his role in the formation of a new world organization, have not received the
