Yes, but was Churchill really responsible for the demise of the British Empire?
LINK NY REVIEW OF BOOKS
Churchill had many faults, gargantuan egoism to which family and friends
were sacrificed, and his judgments were often reckless. Most of his
contemporaries in politics distrusted him. After discussing some of his
faults, however, Ben-Moshe is right to pay him a gracious tribute. He
was an incomparable leader, “who embodied hundreds of years of British
history and of its heroic struggle against European despotism, as well
as the most enlightened values of Western culture.” Such leadership may
not guarantee sound strategy, “but it does guarantee the acquisition of
eternal glory.”
