Re: [ChurchillChat] Is Churchill Still Relevant?
Dear List members, Churchill saw the writing on the wall of history - and never failed to take the consequences. He was, you could rightfully claim, a geopolitical whistle-blower who issued quite a cavalcade of "early warnings" - e.g. on the nature of the nazi ideology, on the need for European integration, on the benefits reaped from free trade and on the evils of totalitarian communism. Churchill knew, that expressing his view publicly came with a cost - in terms of public ridicule, election defeats and political isolation. He was ready to to pay these costs fore the sake of freedom. In a political landscape crowded with spineless opportunists (forgive me, Boris Johnson) Churchill personifies a human quality some of us seek desperately (and in vain) among Western politicians: Political courage.

[ChurchillChat] Photos on Churchill
Dear all, I hope that you all had a Merry Christmas and wish you health and happiness for 2012. I am closing the last chapter of a book on Churchills oratory (to be launched during The Gothenburg Book Fair in November 2012). My publisher has repeatedly asked how to source photos and other illustrations, and I have not been able to provide an answer. I just wonder if the list members could offer some advice when it comes to sourcing for WSC photos and cartoons. Where do you begin the search? Are there photos that could be used free of charge for this kind of publication? I would be very thankful for any piece of advice. I will also draw the attention to the fact that the new year marks the centenary of a number of great speeches crafted by The Great Man. In 1912, he mobilized the courage to go to Belfast to address hostile crowds on the subject of Irish Home Rule. He spoke up against German intentions to challenge Britain´s dominance at sea and for intensified British naval preparedness. In my opinion, his most magnificent speech during this dramatic year was delivered in The Commons on April 30 in an attempt to cool the passions aroused by the issue of Home Rule. It is a speech of passion, prudence and clear perception of the situation. WSC at his best! I regret that my book will be published in Swedish, but hope to find a British or US publisher - provided that Swedish critics will give favourable reviews.

Dear Allen, Thank you for your swift reply and generous offer. I will most likely go to Cambridge this spring, probably in early June. I will no doubt contact you then.

[ChurchillChat] Churchill - the orator
Dear list members, I am a Swedish journalist turned consultant within the fields of rhetorics and information strategy. Most of my clients are global corporations based in Sweden. I also lecture (rhetorics) at the University of Lund. For some time now, I have planned for a book on Churchillian rhetorics and its sources of influence. Sweden is a small country (approx. 9.3 million inhabitants). A book on this aspect of WSC will find a very small market here. Therefore, I plan to write this book in English and will consequently have to seek a British or American publisher or literary agent. I will be able to present a rather detailed outline and a finished first chapter early this spring. Now I just wonder if my fellow list members will be able to suggest publishers/agents working within this specific literary field. You ill find my off-list e-mail address below. I felt that the HOPE poster was a good omen, and wish you all the best for the decade we just entered.
