Ep. 371 Keith Knight Makes the Case Against Winston Churchill

In *The World Crisis*, Winston S. Churchill provides a vivid and detailed account of World War I, drawing from his experiences as First Lord of the Admiralty and Minister for War and Air. The book covers the major campaigns of the war, including the battles of the Marne, Jutland, Verdun, and the Somme, as well as the introduction of new warfare technologies such as airplanes, tanks, and chemical warfare. Churchill's narrative spans from the pre-war tensions in 1911 to the aftermath of the war in the 1920s, offering insights into the political and military strategies of the time. The work is not only a historical account but also a personal reflection and justification of Churchill's own role in the war[1][2][4].

This single edition encompasses all of de Gaulle's personal writings, detailing his role in leading the Free French Forces, his struggles to rally the French in Africa and Europe, and his conflicts with Allied leaders. The memoirs are divided into three sections: 'The Call,' 'Unity,' and 'Salvation,' chronicling France's defeat, de Gaulle's efforts to unite the French resistance, and the eventual liberation of France from Nazi occupation. The book provides insightful portraits of key figures like Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt, and offers a unique perspective on de Gaulle's vision for France and his role in its resurrection during World War II.
