By his own effort and willpower, Churchill inspired the
West in the fights against Fascism and Communism in the
1940s, the consequences of which remain very much with
us today, while his name and his legend are still invoked by
a wide range of contemporary statesmen.
This course of lectures explores Churchill’s extraordinary
life and his remarkable range of skills and achievements in
a sixty-year-long public life. It seeks to answer the question,
”What was it that was great in Winston Churchill?”
