[37167] £1,500 Churchill’s seminal account of the First World War, upon which a large part of his reputation as a writer rests. “The volumes contain some of Churchill’s finest writing, weaving the many threads together with majestic ease, describing the massive battles in terms which fitly combine relish of the literary challenge with an awareness of the sombre tragedy of the events.” - Woods. Published separately and originally planned as only three volumes, the others were added later and as a consequence volume six (present here) is often lacking.

    WINSTON CHURCHILL'S THE SECOND WORLD WAR: METANARRATIVE, MARKETS, AND THE POLITICS OF MEMORY By DAVID J.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) 11 ABSTRACT The potency of memoirs to shape collective memory makes it important to seek a critical understanding of their political and historical functions. Memoirs offer insights into the character, motives, and influence of political leaders, yet many scholars question this genre's ability to produce accurate history, insightful political analysis, or literature of merit. However, to the extent that memoirs contribute to our knowledge and understanding of the past they deserve closer study. Memoirs mediate remembrance of the recent past by functioning primarily in the interval between contemporary political discourse and professional historiography, where their reception molds historical memory.

  • The Legislative Leadership Role, of the British
    THE LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP ROLE, OF THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER by Chia-chin Hsieh I! Bachelor of Arts Tunghai University Taichung, Formosa 1959 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1964 OKLAHOMA ITATE UNIVER ~!BRARr JM j l9t>5 THE LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP ROLE OF THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER Thesis Approved: ~/rP-7 /Cd_ Thesis Advisor 569616 ii PREFACE The British parliamentary-cabinet system, which is characterized by the fusion of executive and legislative powers, is one of the two most imitated models in the contemporary world. It has produced a responsible type of legislative leadership in which the concentration of authority has been balanced by obligations of political accountability. The Prime Minister, in assuming the leadership of the Government and the House of Commons, must politically render an account of his public mandate to his party, to the House of Commons, and to the electorate. For the past three hundred years, the Prime Minister has gradually usurped the exercise of almost the totality of the formal constitutional powers still nominally vested in the Sovereign and in Parliament. Commencing from rather humble status as chief advisor to the monarchy and then undergoing transformation into the parliamentary agent and custodian over the Monarch, the Prime Minister has become the kingpin of the Government and Parliament. This transformation of the Prime Minister from the position of servant of the Crown and Parliament into master of both is the consequence of the formation of well-disciplined and highly-centralized political parties in Great Britain.

  • Was Winston Churchill Really "Strongly in Favor of Using Poisoned Gas Against Uncivilized Tribes?”
    Was Winston Churchill really "strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes?” On April 27, 2004, Finest Hour Senior Editor Paul Courtenay advised us of a rather vicious piece in the latest Spectator (April 24, 2004), headed “CHURCHILL FOR DUMMIES - Winston S. Churchill is the hero of George W. Bush and the Neocons”. Says Michael Lind, the author, they know very little about the great wartime leader - if they did, they'd be horrified. Michael Lind is the Whitehead Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation in Washington DC, and author of "Made in Texas: George W. Bush and the Southern Takeover of American Politics". One rather snide remark is: "............an essay by one Larry Arn, a frequent contributor [to 'Weekly Standard'] who is an academic adviser to something called the International Churchill Society." * * * * * Finest Hour immediately penned the following Letter To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR: Michael Lind’s “Churchill for Dummies” (24 April) contains much that is trite and much that is true, as Arthur Balfour once said of a speech by Churchill: “The problem is that what¹s true is trite, and what¹s not trite is not true.” 1) There is no doubt that American “neocons” who worship Churchill would praise him less if they knew more about him. (Had he a vote, e.g., he would have voted for the Democrat in the last eleven U.S. Presidential elections of his lifetime!) But this is hardly news to anyone who has put a modicum of study into the Churchill persona. 2) “Something called the International Churchill Society” changed its name to “The Churchill Centre” nine years ago, better to reflect its mission: which is not to worship at the shrine, but to look at Churchill “in the round,” as Professor John Ramsden of Queen Mary College put it, “including listening to some pretty tough papers on the subject.” Our academic advisers range from Larry Arnn (not “Arn”) on the Right to Warren Kimball on the Left.
