Status Updates From Churchill: The Struggle for...

مشکلی که با این کتاب دارم اینه که نسخه من چاپ ۱۹۶۶ لندنه،کتاب کهنسال و زیباییه که توان رفت و آمد های روزمره رو نداره بخاطر همین خوب پیش نمیره.
در صفحه اولش نوشته:Happy birthday,September 1966...هر بار به این جمله که با مداد ۶۰ سال قبل نوشته شده نگاه میکنم..به این فکر میکنم که نویسنده و گیرنده این جمله احتمالا هر دو مرده اند،لرزشی بر وجود من میاره که بعد ها سرنوشت کتاب های ما چه خواهد شد..

It is beginning to drag, documenting Churchill's 'staying on' - perhaps he was right, perhaps he only felt validated by being in power?

From this account, he was right about a number of things - now the way the atomic & then hydrogen bomb re-drew the conceptual map of the world. I'm just about where they realise - and he tells the House of Commons - that Britain was dependant on the USA to survive.

Interesting to get Dr Moran's "inside track" on the talks between Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt. He says that Roosevelt brought Stalin onside by basically promising to work with him to "bring democracy" to the British colonies/empire. Churchill apparently reckoned that if we & the US didn't get to eastern Europe before Stalin, then Stalin would turn out to be worse than Hitler - he was probably right on that one!
