Churchill : The Unexpected Hero

Attribution
Paul Addison
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2005
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
Now, in Churchill, The Unexpected Hero, Paul Addison offers a major reassessment of this highly charismatic figure, focusing largely on the life-long battle over Churchill’s reputation. After Gallipoli, Churchill’s reputation plummeted, and he was attacked as a shameless egotist, an opportunist without principles or convictions, an unreliable colleague, an erratic policy-maker who lacked judgement, and a reckless amateur strategist with a dangerous passion for war and bloodshed.

East London For Mosley : The British Union Of Fascists In East London And South-west Essex, 1933-40

Attribution
Thomas P. Linehan
Publication Details
Book, Frank Cass, 1996
Description
It draws extensively upon official and unofficial sources, as well as the afganets veterans themselves, to illustrate the way the war fed into a wide range of other processes, from the retreat from globalism in foreign policy to the rise of grassroots political activism. The same approach is used to examine the war’s victims - from injured veterans to bereaved families and carers forced to pick up the pieces - and then the rise of social and political movements related to the war.

Churchill : A Biography

Attribution
Roy Jenkins
Publication Details
Book, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2001
Description
A brilliant new life of Britain’s greatest modern prime minister Winston Churchill is an icon of modern history, but even though he was at the forefront of the political scene for almost sixty years, he might be remembered only as a minor player in the drama of British government had it not been for World War II. Jenkins shows in fascinating detail how Churchill educated himself for greatness, how he worked out his livelihood (writing) as well as his professional life (politics), how he situated himself at every major site or moment in British imperial and governmental life.
