Which book by Winston Churchill should I read?

(Or read first.) I'm thinking of the books pertaining to WWII. It's high time, I think.

>1 Meredy: I think a good place to start would be Step by Step 1936-1939. It's a collection of articles he wrote in those wilderness years about foreign policy and defence. They are, as all his writings, eminently readable. It gives you the background to the inferno to come, all the missed opportunities, the wilful blindness of the appeasers. And a lot will resonate with the world today, alas.

I just randomly opened my copy, and hit on:
"Dictators ride to and fro on tigers from which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry."
