Charles Wright, former U.S. Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winner, visited East Tennessee State University on October 25, 2017, to read his poems and meet our students and community here in Johnson City.

His father’s early death cleared young Winston for a life of achievement Lord Randolph Churchill simply could not have imagined. His son constantly reminded himself of that. It was almost certainly his greatest disappointment—after failing to secure permanent world peace—that his father never knew what the boy he disparaged would become.

One wonders where people come up with these stories. Of course, a long-running conspiracy theory holds that Churchill wrote plaintive letters urging Mussolini not to wage war alongside Hitler. (If the dictators ever received such letters, they certainly would have taken every opportunity to publicize them.) But this is the first we’ve heard that Churchill was upset over Mussolini’s demise. Quite the opposite, it appears from eye-witness accounts of his reactions and a letter to his wife. ...| The Churchill Project – Hillsdale College
At 3am one morning in 1941, Eleanor Roosevelt spotted the Prime Minister, “cigar in hand,” searching for the President. Politely but firmly, she convinced him to postpone his mission until breakfast. Churchill’s nocturnal White House prowling influenced acquisition of Blair House as White House guest quarters, but he never spent the night there. There is no evidence, however, that Churchill was ever accommodated at Blair House; his alternate residence in Washington was the British Embas...| The Churchill Project – Hillsdale College
Churchill’s views about borders and “captive nationalities” differed between the World Wars. In 1918 he opposed shifting populations against their will, condemning Germany’s 1870 annexation of Alsace-Lorraine. In 1945 he was agreeable, even anxious, to shift the Polish state at the expense of Poles in the east and Germans in the west. But by then there were graver worries, and no one was speaking of a “war to end wars.” The post “Much To Be Thankful For”: Reparations and Magna...| The Churchill Project – Hillsdale College
In both the WW1 and WW2 memoirs, we must be grateful the author was a professional writer. Churchill set out the story from his and Britain's standpoint. “In his speeches during the war and his memoirs afterwards, he often ignored unpleasant facts, or put his own spin on them. Yet few writers were so magnanimous, refusing for example to criticize his predecessors for the sake of unity and the national effort.” The post Questions and Answers on Churchill’s WW2 Memoirs appeared first on T...| The Churchill Project – Hillsdale College
“If I want to understand Sir Winston Churchill's philosophy of life and living, what books would you recommend?” Your question first seemed impossibly broad. But on further thought, there very definitely is a body of work that helps provide the answers.

“The cousin of the Duke of Marlborough, Churchill had a better claim to being aristocratic than many of those who affected to look down on him,” wrote Graham Stewart. Labeling him a “half-breed American” went round for a few weeks after Churchill took over. If the fair-minded among the Respectable Tendency quickly changed their minds, others never did. The former saw in Churchill a quality he himself cited when asked for the most important characteristic of a statesman: “Mettle.” ...| The Churchill Project – Hillsdale College
“Clementine from the first had liked and respected this dour man, but she found this remark too much to bear and, rounding on him, she rebuked him soundly, in her perfect, rather formal French.... The General was much upset, and apologised profusely....

“Lenin was sent into Russia by the Germans in the same way that you might send a phial containing a culture of typhoid or of cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy.
