His thoughts turn to the dark days early in the war, when England was embattled against Hitler’s Nazi forces virtually without aid. Churchill recalls the unconquerable will of the British people as well as his friendship with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In the final moments of his speech, Churchill may issue a warning about a growing threat in Eastern Europe. Along the way, he shares his characteristic wit, as well as his famous eloquence. Kevin Radaker (PhD, Penn State) served as Professor of English at Anderson University in Anderson, Indiana, from 1987 to 2021. Since 2016, he has offered his dramatic portrayal of Winston Churchill over 40 times in seven states. Since 1991, he has presented his portrayal of Henry David Thoreau over 400 times around the nation, including six performances in Concord, Massachusetts, Thoreau’s lifelong town of residence. Since 2009, he has presented his portrayal of author C. S. Lewis in seven states and in Beijing, China. Besides teaching courses in American Literature, Modern Drama, and writing, Radaker served as chair of the English department at Anderson University for twenty-five years (1988-2013). Additionally, he has presented numerous papers on Thoreau and other authors at academic conferences and has published scholarly articles on Thoreau, Melville, Annie Dillard, and Wendell Berry.
