Ep 052 "CG Excursion: Churchill: Imperial Bombast and the Death of the West"
This is an episode to examine what Churchill really did for the West after witnessing the emotional & ahistorical outbursts by the usual suspects after Darryl Cooper from the Martyrmade Podcast appeared on Tucker Carlson on 2 SEP 2024.I am simply addressing the claims of Churchill as "the chief villain" which I think was hyperbolic (Cooper accedes to this) because I think Churchill was one of many villains during WWII. I am a reluctant Anglophile and I think historical revisionism is a healthy reaction to triumphalist historiography in the West that has made questioning accepted narratives a scholar crime.Listen to the interview yourself before arriving at any conclusions.References:William Manchester The Last Lion Box Set: Winston Spencer Churchill, 1874 - 1965Andrew Roberts Churchill: Walking with DestinyDavid Reynolds In Command of History: Churchill Fighting and Writing the Second World WarJohn Charmley Churchill: The End of Glory : A Political BiographyJohn Charmley Churchill's Grand Alliance: The Anglo-American Special Relationship 1940-57Gordan Corrigan BLOOD, SWEAT AND ARROGANCE: The Myth's of Churchill's WarMadhusree Mukerjee Churchill's Secret War: The British Empire and the Ravaging of India during World War IIThomas Ricks Churchill and Orwell: The Fight for FreedomPatrick J.
