“The River War” Returns in a Masterful and Scholarly New Edition
12
Jul

By RONALD I. COHEN
The River War is remarkable because of its author, length, content and audacity. The author was already a rising political star, having run and lost for Parliament. At 962 pages, the book analyzed the Anglo-Egyptian reconquest of the Sudan, a conflict largely forgotten today—except for its dramatic concluding event, one of history’s last great cavalry charges, in which Churchill himself participated.
No major canard is too preposterous for this mini-biography by Hanson.

Churchill and Caesar both wrote literate war memoirs. Was this special pleading, or was there a higher purpose? For Churchill, there certainly was.

By RICHARD M. LANGWORTH and HENRY FEARON
Though born well, Churchill had little handed to him. True, he could not have embarked on those thrilling war junkets abroad without the influence of his mother and other great personages. But once there he was on his own, and he acquitted himself well. He records these experiences in words which will live as long as any 20th century author is read.

“Leading Lives: Winston Churchill” – by Fiona Reynoldson

Oct
2017
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.
Frederick Lindemann: Churchill’s Eminence Grise?

A popular weekly half hour podcast, Revisionist History takes aim at shibboleths, real and imagined. This episode is Churchill’s turn in the barrel. The villain, aside from Sir Winston, is his scientific adviser, Frederick Lindemann, later Lord Cherwell, aka “The Prof.” You’ve probably never heard of him, says narrator Malcolm Gladwell. You should have. It was Lindemann who made Churchill bomb innocent German civilians and starve the Bengalis. Accompanied by background music, uplifting or ominous as required, Mr. Gladwell unfolds his case. He claims to have read six books on Lord Cherwell (whose title he mispronounces). But his only two quoted sources are the British scientist C.P. Snow (very selectively; Snow admired Churchill); and Madhusree Mukerjee, author of a widely criticized book on the Bengal Famine. There are no contrary opinions or evidence.
