Churchill

This book looks at the controversial career of Winston Churchill. Each contributor is considered an expert on some aspect of his life, and the resulting interplay of sometimes unflattering and critical ideas about his policies and motives gives insight into how he came to be considered "the saviour of his nation". This book is for students of world and British history, especially political historians of the 20th century. It should also be of interest to readers of biographies and Churchill enthusiasts.

This book examines the wartime controversies between Britain and America about the future of the colonial world, and considers the ethical, military, and economic forces behind imperialism during World War II. It concludes that, for Britain, there was a revival of the sense of colonial mission; the Americans, on the other hand, felt justified in creating a strategic fortress in the Pacific Islands while carrying the torch of "international trusteeship" throughout the rest of the world--a scheme that Churchill and others viewed as a cloak for American expansion.

The termination of the British Mandate in Palestine was a momentous turning point in Middle Eastern history, marked by the failure of the British to bring about a workable political composition between the Arab and Jewish communities, the subsequent referral of the problem to the United Nations and the emergence of the state of Israel, in part through effective diplomacy, but more particularly by force of arms. The underlying problems caused by the Mandate persist to this day, as intractable as ever, with serious consequences both for local security and international relations. This book provides a detailed overview of the dispute's historical origins, setting forth, one by one, the perspectives, motivations and objectives of the principal actors in the termination of the Mandate: Great Britain, as the mandatory power; the United States, as the pivot of the Zionist movement; the Soviet Union, preoccupied with the liquidation of the Western empires; the Zionists and the Arabs, both the Palestinians and the sovereign Arab states. Featuring a new Introduction by Wm. Roger Louis, this classic work provides important insights into this crucial episode in the history of the Middle East.
