Description: Churchill as Peacemaker challenges the usual view that the British statesman was only a man of war. Spanning his long political career, from the return of the century to the postwar years, this book traces his endeavors to keep the peace, or to restore it, from the little wars of Queen Victoria to the cold war. Scholars from America, Britain, and South Africa examine his choices as a statesman and his reflections as a critic to discover the fascinating, little-known story of Churchill as peacemaker.
Notes: Papers of the first Nation's Capital Churchill Symposium, held at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Wash., D.C., on Oct. 28 and 29, 1994.
