"the
maintenance of the enduring greatness of Britain and her Empire and the
historical continuity of her island life ."
But what is the present reality? The mantle of greatness no longer sits on our shoulders and we have planted seeds of change in the English garden that will inevitably threaten the second. And by the way, Charles, do take a look at Harrod's biography of Cherwell, Churchill's wizard, to find out what that unpleasant but highly intelligent man considered to be the most significant event of his age.
parliamentary information office: Good review and introduction by Charles Moore. This book is really about managing the pease Cold War in the post-World War II era, written by David Dilks. It all dealt with how Winston Churchill managed the relationship with all these allied leaders in the war period, and, then, after the wa. which evolved into Cold War with the Soviet Union and Eastern-Bloc nations that reverted to communism.
Here, some allies or former allies became rivals, like Gen.
Charles deGaulle whose relationship with Churchill boiled down to near hostility. But, this contrated with affection for the US
President Franklyn D. Roosevelt with whom he signed the
Atlantic Charter or Atlantic Declaration in 1941--a treaty that
foreshadowed the United Nations that guaranteed, respected
and promoted self-determination for all peoples as an inherent
right.
One finds little orno friction between Churchill and Dwight
Eisenhower when he later became US President. This is because
after all, Gen. Eisenhower was the Supreme Commander of the
Allied Forces who executed World War II hand in hand and face to face with Winston Churchill: All from Great Britain. So, from
the White House as president, the interpersonal relationship with Churchill continued.
But, the most caustic and irritating of these relationship as
Dilks would observe would be that between Churchill and Joseph Stalin of Soviet Union. That would be one of the
greatest betrayal in modern history. Here were two great
leaders who planned and fought together as allies, and, later,
after the war, the iron curtain of communism, descended
upon Europe.
parliamentary information office:
How times change. Churchill's views on immigration and Islam would bar him from being a member of any mainstream party in today's PC world. Only the likes of the BNP would dare to have a man with his outspoken "racist" and "slamophobic" views as a member these days.
parliamentary information office:
"They show a leader governing, and thinking as he does so." Those were the days! What would Churchill have made of our cowering to that most abject of European capitals, Brussels?
