I am working on a pastiche, based on WSC's droll What-If, "If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg".....Mine is, "If Churchill Had Not Won the 1945 Election." Everything turns out just fine, of course). The last paragraph:
"Things might have been different. We might have had a divided Europe; genocide in India; a stand-off with the Soviets and fifty years of Cold War; a nuclear arms race; a communist China, and surrogate- regimes with nuclear arms in places like Cuba; a war in Korea; a crisis over Suez; eternal strife in the Middle East, the shattering of the world economy. All these events might easily have come to pass—if Churchill had not won the 1945 election." Finest Hour would run Churchill's Trotsky piece from GREAT CONTEMPORARIES (new edition edited by Muller/Courtenay due out from ISI shortly), together with a thoughtful article of whether he was right, from anyone who might like to submit it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
