“The Heroic Memory” – Ronald I. Cohen, editor

Among the charms of this book are the speakers’ many references to Canada—tailored, of course, to their hosts, but nevertheless fitting, and not often acknowledged in histories we read today. Per capita, Canada was the largest contributor of fighting personnel, materiel and capital to the Allied cause in World War II. No nation was more generous, and by the time the war ended the feisty Canadian Navy was one of the largest and most effective afloat. Every speaker at Edmonton, in his or her own way, acknowledged the enormous debt we all owe to “The True North Strong and Free.”

Author Douglas Austin, in "Churchill and Malta", provides a thorough review of Winston Churchill's encounters with the nation of Malta during the two world wars. Through time, he came to understand and appreciate the nation and the aspirations of its people.

The historian Geoffrey Best wrote that King George V prevented Churchill (as First Lord of the Admiralty in 1911-15) from naming battleships after Cromwell and Pitt. I knew about Cromwell, but why Pitt and which one?

With his third book on Malta, Douglas Austin depicts Churchill's great leadership and understanding of the geopolitical importance of the nation of Malta. In this deeply researched volume, the story of Malta's heroic struggle is told through Churchill's official Malta Papers and the vitality of Malta's role in supporting the Allied efforts.

Lincoln and Churchill not only knew and quoted Shakespeare; they were connoisseurs of his plays and critics of the actors.

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.

Churchill’s father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was his lifetime inspiration. The respect he felt was manifest early on, and continued throughout his life. Following his father’s death in 1895 at the age of only 46, Churchill wrote: “All my dreams of comradeship with him, of entering Parliament at his side and in his support, were ended. There remained for me only to pursue his aims and vindicate his memory.” This, Churchill certainly did.

Charlie Chaplin: “The charm of Churchill is in his tolerance and respect for other people’s opinions. He seems not to bear malice with those who disagree with him.” Though their political viewpoints differed, Chaplin and Churchill's friendship, begun in 1929, endured throughout the years.

All the Churchill recordings ever published—including private recordings—are listed here for the first time by Churchill’s bibliographer.

Churchill interacted with eleven U.S. presidents, none more crucially than FDR. “No lover,” he said, “ever studied every whim of his mistress as I did those of Roosevelt.”

The sequel to Nigel Hamilton’s "The Mantle of Command", this book continues to explain, as he sees it, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s political and strategic thought and action in the Second World War. As one reviewer put it, Hamilton seeks to compose the memoirs FDR himself was never able to write.
