“We are told that there are a handful of terrorists on one side and 100,000 British troops on the other. How much longer are they to stay there? And stay for what? In order that on a threat to kill hostages we show ourselves unable to execute a sentence duly pronounced by a competent tribunal. It is not good enough. I never saw anything less recompensive for the efforts now employed than what is going on in Palestine.” —WSC, 31 January 1947

“[I]t is impossible to avoid expressing deep regret at the many changes of tactics and method, at the needless disappointment created throughout world Jewry by the failure to fulfill the hopes which the party opposite excited by their promises and convictions at the General Election, and above all, at the lack of any policy worthy of the name. This absence of any policy or decision on these matters, which have become more complicated as they proceed, has allowed havoc and hatred to flare and run rife throughout Palestine for more than a year and no one knows where we are today.” —WSC, 12 November 1946

By ANTOINE CAPET
There seems to be a new trend in publishing: serious books in a format once the preserve of books for young people. Last year we had Cate Ludlow’s attractive "I Love Winston Churchill: 400 Fantastic Facts." Now, at the same keen price, we have this title by Richard Wiles in a series which already offers “graphic biographies” of Jane Austen, Cézanne, Leonardo and Shakespeare.
“Leading Lives: Winston Churchill” – by Fiona Reynoldson

By RICHARD M. LANGWORTH
Fiona Reynoldson’s "Winston Churchill", for ages 8-15, is far and away the best juvenile ever published, anywhere, by anybody. Throughout, the author delivers unadulterated, factual information. One wouldn’t expect so much wisdom to be so attractively wedged into sixty-four pages. We should all buy five copies and get them into the hands of schools, libraries and young people of promise.

By KLAUS LARRES
Among the important figures of the 20th century, Churchill and Einstein competed with each other for the distinction of being labeled “Person of the Century” by Time magazine. At first sight they seemed different in almost all respects. Yet to some extent they had similar personalities and over time their thinking developed in not entirely different ways. They also liked each other—from the time they first met in 1933 at Chartwell, Churchill’s country estate.

What we have here is an elegant, landscape-format collection of photographs by Frank Dementi, of the Eisenhower-Churchill Virginia visit in March 1946, after Churchill’s famous “Iron Curtain” speech in Fulton, Missouri. Dementi, a distinguished press photographer, also snapped the 1943 Williamsburg visit of Clementine and Mary Churchill, and some of those photos are included. Dementi’s son Brian, who published the book as a tribute to his father, who would be proud.
