Biographical Note on Winston Churchill Winston Spencer Churchill (1874-1965) was one of the most prominent politicians of the 20th century. He was first elected to the British Parliament in 1900 and went on to serve as First Lord of the Admiralty (1911-1915, 1939-1940), Chancellor of the Exchequer (1924-1929), Leader of the Conservative Party (1940-1955), and twice as Prime Minister (1940-1945, 1951-1955), among numerous other positions. Churchill also wrote dozens of books and articles, including memoirs, biographies, and histories, and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. Biographical Note on Curt J. Zoller Curt J. Zoller (1920-2014) was a scholar of Winston Churchill and book collector in Southern California. His works included the Annotated Bibliography of Works about Sir Winston S. Churchill (2004) and Becoming Winston Churchill: the untold story of young Winston and his American Mentor (2009) with Michael McMenamin. Scope and Content This collection contains approximately 550 printed items, covering a span of 1902 to 2010, with articles and the texts of speeches by British statesman Winston Churchill, articles and pieces of propaganda about Churchill, and a variety of ephemera and audio and visual materials related to Churchill. These materials were collected by Churchill scholar Curt J. Zoller and form a subsection of the Curt J. Zoller Churchill Collection. The focus of the Zoller Collection is the literary and rhetorical works of Winston Churchill, though they are obviously closely tied to his political life. Notably, the collection includes 165 pieces of printed propaganda leaflets from World War II, particularly in Dutch, English, French, and German. Most have a portrait, quote, or article about Churchill. Many of these fliers were intended for aerial Curt J.

The periodicals, pamphlets, and clippings in the collection are a mixture of articles and speeches by Churchill (with a large number printed in Colliers and Reader's digest), a few articles about Churchill, and international coverage of Churchill's funeral in 1965. The ephemera includes commemorative coins and trinkets, stamped envelopes, photographs of Churchill and people at Churchill-related events, reproductions of documents from Churchill's life, postcards, calendars, two LP albums, and a talking Winston Churchill action figure. The audiovisual materials include VHS tapes with programs on Churchill and recordings of lectures about Churchill, while the audio items are mostly recordings of Churchill's speeches.

  • Timeline - May 1940
    TIMELINE - MAY 1940 As the month begins the battle for Norway continues. Just to recap, German naval and ground forces had begun invading both Norway and Denmark on 9th April. Denmark had quickly capitulated but Norway had resisted. British forces were sent to Andalsnes on 18th April to 1st May, Namsos on 16th April to 3rd May, and Narvik from 15th April to 8th June. They were joined by Norwegian, French and Polish forces. But as May begins the evacuation of Allied troops from some of these areas is already underway and nearing completion. With the failure of the campaign for central Norway attention shifts to Narvik in the far north, strategically vital to the Germans for the shipping of iron ore from Sweden. 1 On 2nd May German troops reached Andalsnes, and on the following day Norwegian troops south of Trondheim surrendered to the Germans. The allied evacuation at Namsos was completed, but German aircraft located part of the evacuation fleet and sank the destroyers Afridi and Bison. The Bison was a French destroyer and she was the first to be sunk with the loss of 136 of her crew. The surviving crew were then picked up by the Afridi. But when that ship came under attack a further 35 of her crew were lost, along with 53 of the Afridi’s crew and 13 soldiers - the only casualties among the whole force of 12,000 troops evacuated from Åndalsnes and Namsos On 5th May the Battle of Hegra Fortress ended when the fortress capitulated. The Germans had now achieved complete victory on Norway’s southern front.

  • 'They Shall Reap the Whirlwind': How Churchill Harnessed Christianity In
    ‘They shall reap the whirlwind’: how Churchill harnessed Christianity in the service of war democraticaudit.com /2016/12/20/they-shall-reap-the-whirlwind-how-churchill-harnessed-christianity-in-the- service-of-war/ By Democratic Audit UK 2016-12-20 For centuries the Church of England buttressed a sense of Christian nationhood – which was ably deployed during the second world war by Winston Churchill. In this exclusive extract from his book The Evolution of the West, Nick Spencer explains how Churchill, who lost his faith for a while, nonetheless drew on the Bible to defend ‘Christian civilisation’. Bishop Bell of Chichester, who protested at the bombing of civilian populations in Germany, lost out on the Archbishopric of Canterbury as a result. The ruins of Coventry Cathedral, bombed in the Blitz. Photo: XTrillion via a CC-BY 2.0 licence A deep sense of Christian nationhood is but a vague memory to most people living today, but it is worth noting that it was anything but vague or a memory as recently as 70 years ago. Winston Churchill ended first broadcast to the nation as Prime Minister, on 19 May 1940 with the following words: “Today is Trinity Sunday. Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: ‘Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be.” The text he quoted to rouse his people was from 1 Maccabees 3:58-60, a book confined to the English Apocrypha since the Reformation.

  • Winston Churchill's Message to America
    FIRST PRINCIPLES FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS TO GUIDE POLITICS AND POLICY NO. 54 | JUNE 2, 2015 Champion of Liberty: Winston Churchill and His Message to America Justin D. Lyons Abstract Political freedom does not occur naturally. Societies must fight to establish it, struggle to maintain it, and sacri- fice to defend it. For Winston Churchill, the defense of freedom required manly firmness despite fear and difficul- ty—not only on the battlefield, but also in the realm of ideas. Churchill believed that a unified front of the nations dedicated to freedom was necessary for their security, both in times of war and in times of peace. He especially thought it crucial for the United States and England to maintain their special relationship. Americans should reflect on the life and career of the man whose name has become synonymous with struggle against tyranny and with hope in times of gathering shadows. His writings remind us of freedom’s unique value and fragility and of the means by which to defend it. 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the death myself an English-speaking union.” And Churchill of Sir Winston S.

Eisenhower, behaved accordingly, working “tirelessly to cement fortified by memories of long association and collab- the British–American alliance.”1 oration with Churchill through cataclysmic events, The United States is interwoven throughout wrote a remembrance for National Geographic: Churchill’s story from start to finish.

  • First Lady: the Life and Wars of Clementine Churchill
    Published on Reviews in History (http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews) First Lady: The Life and Wars of Clementine Churchill Review Number: 1932 Publish date: Thursday, 12 May, 2016 Author: Sonia Purnell ISBN: 9781781313060 Date of Publication: 2015 Price: £25.00 Pages: 400pp. Publisher: Quarto Publishing Group UK Publisher url: http://www.quartouk.com/products/9781781313060/9781781313060/First-Lady.html Place of Publication: London Reviewer: Bradley Hart In late 1909, a suffragette attacked the Asquith government’s youthful President of the Board of Trade, slashing his face with a whip as he prepared to give a speech in Bristol station. Briefly stunned, he fell toward the station’s tracks at the same moment a train pulled out of the station. Leaping into action as others looked on in horror at the unfolding scene, it was the young politician’s wife who pulled him back – literally by his coat tails – from almost certain death. Had she failed to react so quickly that morning, the name Winston Churchill would likely be known to only a few historians of the early 20th century. Clementine Churchill’s intervention not only saved her husband’s life but, it is tempting to say, likely carried far-reaching consequences for the course of the country’s future. Remove Churchill from the political scene in 1909 and it is at least conceivable – if not substantially more likely – that Britain in 1940 would reach an accommodation with Hitler’s Germany and the world map would look very different today. Anecdotes of this type, and the resulting counterfactuals that are difficult to resist considering, are effectively the raison d'être for Sonia Purnell’s new biography of Clementine Churchill (First Lady: The Life and Wars of Clementine Churchill).

  • Winston Churchill - Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat Speech - 1940
    Winston Churchill - Blood, toil, tears, and sweat speech - 1940 “And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year, unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigor, arise and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.” “I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.” “You can measure a man's character by the choices he makes under pressure.” “History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.” “Today is Trinity Sunday. Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be.” Editors Note: Winston Churchill was a man trained by the unseen hand of God, for his post as Prime Minister. In the early throws of World War II, he was the statesman Britain so desperately needed after resignation of Neville Chamberlain. From his overbearing father, who toughened him to his later military experiences, all prepared him for his later position. He was protected as a soldier on the Afghan border in 1897.

Aber ich glaube, ich bin ein Glühwurm», hat Winston Churchill (1874–1965) in jungen Jahren einmal verkün- det. Kaum einer besaß so reiche Talente, um solchen Ehrgeiz zu be- friedigen. In den englischen Hochadel geboren, erhielt Churchill eine militärische Ausbildung. Er kämpfte als Soldat in Englands Ko- lonialkriegen, wurde als Kriegskorrespondent und Kriegsabenteurer berühmt, bekleidete im Laufe seines Lebens fast jeden Ministerpos- ten seines Landes und wurde zwei Mal Premierminister. Daneben war er ein anerkannter Maler, ein begeisternder Redner und ein begnadeter Schriftsteller – der einzige Staatsmann, der je den Nobel- preis für Literatur erhielt. Dabei konnte er gleichermaßen inspirie- ren wie irritieren: als radikaler Sozialreformer und als Imperialist alter Schule, als entschlossener Krieger und als Vordenker einer fried- lichen Welt nach den Weltkriegen. 50 Jahre nach Churchills Tod lotet Thomas Kielingers glänzend geschriebene Biographie die Faszina- tion dieses großen Mannes neu aus. Thomas Kielinger berichtet seit 1998 für «Die Welt» aus London. Seine journalistischen Beiträge wurden vielfach ausgezeichnet. Für seine Arbeit für die deutsch-britischen Beziehungen erhielt er 1995 den Orden eines Honorary Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
