The Life of Winston Churchill
The great statesman who defeated Hitler
THE ways in which different historians and biographers have defined the protagonist of this book are many and often discordant between They.
Churchill was " an indomitable fighting animal", or a stubborn and stubborn one who always wanted to impose the his own will, "or " he knew how to move from horse to horse in full swing in order to always be a winner, or a man politician who from his youth only believed in dust by gunshot . We could continue with these definitions for several pages. Winston Churchill, regardless of the judgment that you want to give, depending on whether you look at it from one angle or from another, he was undoubtedly a man out of the common.
Beyond the political and military capabilities, on which posterity for a long time will continue to argue, lived his life of protagonist of his time suspended to some strengths (e which some also saw as his weaknesses). It was of a egocentrism that was found in the Europe of the time only in Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini. Equipped with a deep sense of imagination and aesthetics he thought and created each of his own gesture in key
Lover of eccentric attitudes, enough to wear one tracksuit for a diplomatic reception and to visit i soldiers on the front lines, in the desert, with a pretty parasol white, even in the most banal gestures, sought the touch he could bring it to the attention of others: the way to make them rise to heaven swirls of smoke from his cigar, the way he gestured during Jim Benson
speeches or conversations, the bombastic elegance of some oratorial interventions or some of his pages, even the gesture of his fingers in a V shape, which had a clear meaning provocative to the enemy.
Some malicious critic wrote that Churchill ' would have could have been a wonderful director for a great show of music-hall " . A man who certainly needed demonstrate to himself and to others that he is " different ", that he is undoubtedly the best and therefore worthy of the staff of command.
Accustomed to uplifting biographies we cannot and do not want to make judgments for or against his behavior as a man-leader of the British Empire in the last years of his strength but even on the threshold of its sunset.
We can say that along with the merit of having invigorated and strengthened the English spirit against the Nazi threat in Europe, coexists with the demerit of not having intuited in all its gravity the German danger in the early 30s, along with the credit of having managed to convince the United States to join Europe in the war against the powers of the " Axis ", the demerit of having staunchly defended the colonial mentality of England.
