He has catapulted himself at one leap into the front rank of modern British historians. Washington Time s. A critically important work, full of erudite reflections on the meaning of the Fulton speech, then and now. Includes Churchill's original text and Margaret Thatcher's reflections on it, the Cold War and what it teaches the West in the 21st century. Churchill's works are broken into three sections.
Annotations are thoughtful and neutral.
Authoritative and elegantly written, a brilliant reappraisal of Churchill's most depressing political failure, with a tantalizing glimpse of how very different 20th century history might have been. Reviewed in FH 110. 290pp. See his article, FH 108. Thick and hagiographic. More than half the book is devoted to the war campaigns of 1939-45 and Hitler's and Churchill's reactions to them.
