So deeply implanted is the belief that Churchill was a white supremacist that certain students and faculties accept it without demur.

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.

Churchill and the Baltic, Part 4: From Dissolution to Rebirth

By RICHARD M. LANGWORTH
It is useful to study Churchill and the Baltic for what it can teach us today about powerful aggressors and the fate of small nations. In wartime negotiations, the Soviets were consistent. They made the most extreme demands, offering little in exchange. If the demands were met, more followed. Whenever the other side said they would not agree, an eleventh-hour shift by Moscow would result. Even this was not a defeat, since the democracies were often so grateful for evidence of good will that they would struggle to meet the next round of demands. The perceptive Churchill once told Eden, “do not be disappointed if you are not able to bring home a joint public declaration.”93

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.

Winston Churchill was no saint, and it is a disservice to pretend otherwise. But he is too complex a figure to be pigeonholed by writers who criticize without considering the full picture. As William Manchester wrote, Churchill “always had second and third thoughts, and they usually improved as he went along. It was part of his pattern of response to any political issue that while his early reactions were often emotional, and even unworthy of him, they were usually succeeded by reason and generosity.”
