CHURCHILL Introducing the Dr. E. Conyers O'Bryan Collection of Winston S. Churchill Donated to the University of South Carolina, 2009 The Irvin Department of Rare Books & Special Collections University of South Carolina Libraries This brochure lists selected items from the Winston Churchill ColI~ction built by Dr. E. Conyers O'Bryan, M.D., of Florence, SC. When Dr. O'Bryan donated the collection to the University of South Carolina, in 2009, it was with the wish that "hundreds of people could have the opportunity to see and use" the collection, and so learn about Churchill "who I regard as the most important man of his century." The O'Bryan Collection includes more than 80 volumes of Churchill's writings (many fIrst editions, specially-bound copies, or inscribed copies), together with books from Churchill's library at Chartwell, artwork, and memorabilia, including a silver pillbox engraved for him as a birthday gift. Of special importance among the visual material are an original oil painting by Churchill, dating from 1935, a signed photographic portrait, and a large mezzotint engraving of Churchill as prime minister.

The Histories, Volume 8, Number 1 36 V Writing about Winston: Two Works Compared By Victoria Valusek ‘10 History records the ebb and flow of the tide of human endeavor and whether there are lessons to be learned depends primarily upon two factors. The first is the honesty, accuracy, and integrity of the person recording. The second is the critical consideration/sensibility of the student. Geoffrey Best (Churchill: A Study in Greatness) and Paul Addison (Churchill: The Unexpected Hero) have chosen as their subject the life of one of the most prominent political leaders of the modem era. The “ebb and flow” described by both depict Churchill as not so much riding the tide, but, more or less, sloshing around in the surf and despite his efforts at self-destruction Winston Churchill (1874-1965) somehow manages to save himself from drowning - sometimes by sheer will-power, but most often by chance. The self-destruct mechanism both authors ascribe to Churchill is his egomania.

His research addresses the relationship between New Imperialism, New Journalism and fiction in the late nineteenth century. He is currently working on a project which focuses on the role of the special correspondent at the heart of this relationship. Abstract: Winston Churchill’s Morning Post correspondence from Kitchener’s 1898 Sudan expedition documents a shift in the practice and reportage of imperialism. Sensational New Journalism and aggressive New Imperialism had been locked in a mutually-supportive relationship. Special correspondents, including Churchill, emphasised the romance of empire.
  • Churchill: the Continuing Story

    Churchill: the Continuing Story

    Churchill: The Continuing Story JØRGEN SEVALDSEN The iconic position of Winston Churchill, the great statesman and orator (1874-1965), was confirmed in a very public and spectacular fashion when in 2002 a popular BBC poll made him a clear winner of the title of the Greatest Briton ever. With 28.1% of the final vote, he beat not only his nearest rival, the Victorian engineer Isambard Brunei (24.6%), but also celebrities better known outside Britain such as Shakespeare (6.8%) or Admiral Nelson (3%). This essay will look at other manifestations of the continued contemporary interest in Churchill and discuss why it is that his career, views and personality are still felt to be of contemporary relevance. The literature on Churchill is overwhelming and new biographies and monographs on aspects of his life are coming out every month. A visit to some of the most important Churchill web sites will confirm that the Churchill industry is alive and well. There are obvious reasons for this. Churchill's political career covered most of the 20* century, he held important ministerial posts in many governments, including the position as prime minister 1940-45 and 1951- 55, and he was, of course, a key player in British politics in the early phases of the Second World War when the fate of Britain and the future of the democracies of Western Europe was being decided. As an individual he was colourful and unpredictable, and there are so many military adventures and political and personal ups and downs in his life that it would seem impossible to write a dull biography of him.

    From Adam Smith to the Present Mess Via Depressions and Two World Wars a Short History of Economic and Christian Corruption Across the West

    From Adam Smith to the Present Mess via Depressions and Two World Wars A Short History of Economic and Christian Corruption Across the West Commerce, which ought naturally to be, among nations, as among individuals, a bond of union and friendship, has become the most fertile source of discord and animosity. Adam Smith, 1776 AS_WN,IV.3 Part 1.38 Ian Buckley, Emeritus Faculty, The Australian National University, ACT 0200 Australia Preface In aiming to solve the problems that have led our Western world into the mess it has landed itself in we need to examine its economic and religious backgrounds freed of contrived theories, corrupt doctrines, political spin and wishful hearsay concerning the truly insightful observations and conclusions reached by Adam Smith, Jesus of Nazareth and many other earnest students of the human condition and threatened Earth. In this essay I shall explore certain aspects of how, through its cultural evolution since the birth of agriculture, humankind has lost its sense of coherence to such a degree that current crises threaten it with catastrophic outcomes, - even extinction. For instead of the cooperation and barter which allowed humans to survive as they evolved over millions of years, accumulated food harvests and other surpluses enabled the powerful to force inequities on ‘subdued’ peoples to the point of market instability, collapse and repeated competitive wars. Yet, recognizing such market distortion, inefficiency and cruelty, Adam Smith condemned that corrupt ‘privilege-based’ mercantile system, – advocating instead fair-trading freed of ‘special privileges’ as the honest corrective. However, forced continuation of the flawed system landed Europe’s Western states in repeated economic failures, international wars and, ultimately, the present crises.

    Winston Churchill

    Winston Churchill Prime Minister, Journalist (1874–1965) As prime minister, Sir Winston Churchill rallied the British people during WWII, and led his country from the brink of defeat to victory. Synopsis Winston Churchill's life was a trajectory of events leading to his stand against Adolph Hitler's threat to control Europe. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Churchill helped lead a successful Allied strategy with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and General Secretary Joseph Stalin during WWII to defeat the Axis powers and craft post- war peace. After the breakdown of the alliance, he alerted the West to the expansionist threat of Soviet Communism. Early Life Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was born to an aristocratic family on November 30, 1874. As his life unfolded, he displayed the traits of his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, a British statesman from an established English family, and his mother, Jeannie Jerome, an independent-minded New York socialite. As a young child, Churchill grew up in Dublin, Ireland, where his father was employed by his grandfather, the 7th Duke of Marlborough, John Spencer-Churchill. When he entered formal school, Churchill proved to be an independent and rebellious student. He did poorly at his first two schools and in April, 1888, he was sent to Harrow School, a boarding school near London. Within weeks of his enrollment, he joined the Harrow Rifle Corps, which put him on a path to a military career. At first it didn't seem the military was a good choice for Churchill. It took him three tries to pass the exam for the British Royal Military College.
