[ChurchillChat] Churchill Quotation Question

[Sandy Finlayson]

Does anyone here know the accuracy of the quote sometimes attributed to
Churchill? The phrase in question is "If you are going through hell, keep
going".

Thanks

Sandy

Re: [ChurchillChat] John WHELDON (1911-? )

[Sandy Finlayson]

Dear Professor Capet

I checked the ODNB and unfortunately he's not listed. I believe he worked
with WSC on his books, but can you tell me anything more about him? If I
had a few more clues I'm happy to keep digging!

Re: [ChurchillChat] Bust In, Bust Out

[Sandy Finlayson]

I don't know too many that would mention these men in the same breath, but
there was a book published last year that did.

https://www.amazon.com/Trump-Churchill-Defenders-Western-Civilization/dp/1642934690

I haven't read it and don't intend to!

Re: [ChurchillChat] The Churchill Documents and Future Projects

[Sandy Finlayson]

Dear Richard,

Thank you for the update. It's great to hear how the work is progressing.
So many people have had a hand in this and I'm very grateful for all your
work.

Hearing about future publications is also very exciting, although my wife
may not be as happy to hear that more Churchill volumes will be on their
way in the future!

Thank you again for the update.

Re: Re: [ChurchillChat] Approaching Another Milestone

[Sandy Finlayson]

I wouldn't let this fiasco discourage you about all scholarly publication.
There are rays of light.  For example Hillsdale's republication of Sir
Martin Gilbert's wonderful biography and the ongoing accompanying volumes,
has been a real pleasure to watch and enjoy.

Re: [ChurchillChat] God and Churchill - has anyne read the book?

[Sandy Finlayson]

 I'm not anxious to start a theological debate, but I feel compelled to
make three points.


1)  I agree with the reviewers who claim that the attempt to paint WSC as a
believing, practicing Christian was unsuccessful. You cannot make a man out
to be a believer, even in the broadest sense of the word, when he expressed
himself quite clearly as an agnostic.


2) It is tenable to argue that many of WSC's values and ideals were shaped
by Christianity and where the book does that it is successful.


3) As to whether or not God can use someone who is not an active believer,
I give a resounding yes to that answer. At the same time I recognize that
this is a theological point that not everyone agrees with.

Re: [ChurchillChat] Cox as Churchill on Charlie Rose

[Sandy Finlayson]

Very well said.  As I was watching the latest mess which passes for history
I couldn't help but compare it to Robert Hardy's wonderful portrayal in The
Wilderness Years.  It's a great shame that there weren't subsequent series
based on the same sources and using the same actors and production values.

[ChurchillChat] Churchill Film

[Sandy Finlayson]

I made the mistake of going to the new Churchill film last night. While the
producers made the point in the credits that the film was based on
historical events but that scenes and dialogue had been made up, this was
still an awful film that does a disservice to WSC. Roger Ebert's review
which can be read here <http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/churchill-2017> is
an accurate summation of many of the "issues" with the film.

What's most alarming to me is that a lot of people get their history from
the movies and if they do in this case they will get a deeply flawed
picture of Churchill. After watching the film the most sensible question to
ask would be, why on earth would anyone have followed the Churchill
portrayed in this film?

If you haven't already seen it, don't waste your money on it.

This is indeed a stellar work of scholarship. I received my copy last week
and have enjoyed dipping into it.

Congratulations and thanks to all involved.

[ChurchillChat] Churchill Documents, Volume 19

[Sandy Finlayson]

Just a word of thanks to all those involved in the production of the
Churchill Documents volumes.
This is indeed a herculean task! I'm so grateful for all the work that has
gone into this and for the quality of the final product! Volume 19 landed
on my doorstep yesterday and will afford many, many hours of fascinating
reading.

Thank you!

Response to my query today:

I can tell you that it is very close to finishing, but that I won’t have an 
exact date for perhaps two weeks. I don’t want to tell anyone any date until I 
am absolutely sure that date I give will be exact and permanent. I can tell you 
that it will be sometime in early 2017; it will not be out for Christmas. 
Savrola will be ready before that time.

Dear All,

 

May I tap your expertise again ? - this time on the various effigies of 
Churchill at Madame Tussaud's.

 

The Finest Hour site speaks of seven :

 

On the day of his wedding, Churchill had been honored with the distinction of 
appearing as a waxwork effigy at Madame Tussaud’s. It was the first of a total 
of seven effigies throughout his life.

 

 
<http://www.winstonchurchill.org/the-life-of-churchill/rising-politician/1901-1909/autumn-1908-age-34>
 
http://www.winstonchurchill.org/the-life-of-churchill/rising-politician/1901-1909/autumn-1908-age-34

 

On the Web, however, there are several quotations from a book on Madame 
Tussaud’s which says there were ten :

 

The first sculpture of a young Winston Churchill was made in 1908, with a total 
of ten made since. Pamela Pilbeam Madame Tussaud: And the History of Waxworks.

 

Any comments ?

 

With all best wishes,

I have that 'warmer' photo by Karsh on my copy of Sir Martin's one-volume 
Churchill biography (it was the first book Sir Martin sent me, after we began 
our correspondence in 2006).   It's one of my favorite Churchill photos.   I 
wonder how Karsh got him to smile for it, after the 'scowling lion' one was 
taken?

And you are right about 'In Search of Churchill' being a 'masterpiece'.   It 
helped a lot with the background of how the young Martin Gilbert became the 
'official' biographer after Randolph Churchill's death.  And the stories of how 
he tracked down so many of Churchill's colleagues  were both very amusing--and 
something of a 'spy novel'!

No harm done in anglicising Adolf - except that the custom among historians is

On a more serious note : 

I was struck when recently reading the late Sir Martin's masterpiece, _ In 
Search of Churchill_ (by the way, many thanks to the 
List Members who wrote it was priority reading - they were absolutely right) 
that he said why he had rejected that world-famous 
portrait in favour of a warmer one (albeit also by Karsh at the same session) 
for the photograph on his dust cover. Was he 
influenced by Clementine's opinion (which he no doubt knew) ? - that will 
remain forever an interesting question.

We clearly know the opinion of Winston and Clementine on the Graham Sutherland 
painting, but what was their opinion of the 
“Roaring Lion” photograph by Yousuf Karsh? 

While to the best of my knowledge Winston Churchill is not on record as having 
given an opinion, we do have his reaction by way of 
Clementine.  As I said in my book (take every opportunity!) on Churchill &  
Mackenzie King, the diary of King of May 6, 1944 
recorded a conversation with Clementine. “She (Clementine) does not like the 
Karsh picture, neither does Churchill himself. She 
said ‘He really has a more playful expression about his mouth.’” 

Now I wonder if Adolph Hitler ever commented on it!

Re: [ChurchillChat] Comments in The Guardian on J. Paxman's BBC programme last night

[Sandy Finlayson]

And here's another take on Paxman's (on the whole) fair approach to Churchill.
-
In January 1958, the British government began working on the significantly 
titled Operation Hope Not: its plans for what to do when Winston Churchill 
died. The plans, it turned out, wouldn’t be needed until January 1965 — but the 
intervening seven years were obviously well spent, because, as Churchill: A 
Nation’s Farewell (BBC1, Wednesday) made resoundingly clear, the farewell in 
question was a triumph. London came to a standstill and Big Ben fell silent as 
huge crowds watched the procession of the coffin from Westminster to the 
spectacular state funeral in St Paul’s — and its boat journey along the Thames 
afterwards.

For the 50th anniversary, Jeremy Paxman talked us through the day with the aid 
of some of those who took part. A member of the bearer party recalled how, 
going up the steps of St Paul’s, the coffin had begun to slide off the bearers’ 
shoulders — and how he’d said aloud, ‘Don’t worry, sir, we won’t let you down.’ 
Asked about the many tears he’d provoked, the cathedral trumpeter explained 
with some satisfaction that, ‘The “Last Post” always gets them.’ One of the 
bellringers remembered nipping out on to a gallery for a look at the service, 
and being confronted with the unexpected sight of a garden shed — inside which 
Richard Dimbleby was doing his TV commentary.

The programme also featured the memories of the Churchill family, and several 
contributions from Boris Johnson, who claimed that these days Churchill would 
be ‘a terrific blogger and a self-Googler of epic proportions’. Paxman himself 
supplied the somehow melancholy news that Churchill and Mrs Thatcher are now 
the only former prime ministers in Madame Tussauds.
But despite these many treats, the most surprising aspect of the programme was 
possibly inadvertent. In the approved BBC way, Paxman regularly emphasised how 
much the country has changed since Churchill’s death. And yet, in between 
times, both the tone and content of almost everything else wouldn’t have been 
out of place 50 years ago. If you just read the transcripts, in fact, it would 
often have been hard to distinguish Paxo’s words from those of Richard Dimbleby.

Admittedly, Paxman probably wouldn’t, as Dimbleby did, refer to St Paul’s as 
‘the great mother church of the Commonwealth’. Dimbleby probably wouldn’t 
choose, as Paxman did, to tell us what Britain was like in the 1960s (pretty 
swinging, apparently) while driving a Mini that he could barely fit into. 
Nonetheless, Paxman’s line was essentially that we shall never see Churchill’s 
like again, and that ‘when the nation needed it, he expressed the determination 
of a bulldog’. (On a particularly old-school note, he also used ‘England’ and 
‘Britain’ interchangeably.)
At one stage, Paxman met an ex-docker who declared that, like most 
working-class people, he didn’t like Churchill much and revealed that his 
colleagues had to be paid to lower the cranes that bowed so movingly towards 
the boat carrying Churchill’s coffin. But even when faced with such a 
spoilsport, Paxman didn’t hesitate for long. Churchill, he pointed out, may 
have been no friend to the trade unions, but ‘he did lead the fight against 
German fascism’. And with that, it was back to the eulogy.

All of which made Martin Bell’s contribution seem distinctly odd. Wearing what 
he clearly (if a little tragically) still regards as his ‘trademark’ white 
suit, Bell remembered covering the day as a young reporter. The funeral, he 
concluded ringingly, ‘represented the passing of the old Britain’ — a verdict 
that rather suggests that he didn’t see the rest of the programme.

This is good news.  However I see no reference to the document volumes which

importantly) Sir Martin's health and progress on the last two sets of document

Re: [ChurchillChat] Re: M-Gilbert's Top Two Books on WSC

[Sandy Finlayson]

I've found it very interesting that so many people have recommended In Search 
of Churchill.  It is indeed a great book and very much my favorite WSC book.

Speaking of books, has anyone heard anything about when we can expect the next 
Companion volumes in the Hillsdale College series?  I know these will be new 
books and not reprints so that will explain the time lag, but it's been a while 
since the last releases.

[ChurchillChat] Hillsdale College Churchill

Greetings

I'm wondering if there's any news on when we can expect the next set of the 
Churchill official biography to be released?  I'm really looking forward to the 
Companion volumes for the next two sets as these will be brand new works and 
not reprints.

If anyone has knowledge of the publishing schedule I'd love to know about it.

Thanks

RE: [ChurchillChat] Official Biography

[Sandy Finlayson]

I emailed Sir Martin Gilbert [via his website] about this some time ago.
He told me that publication had been delayed because of his work for the
Iraq enquiry.  So, the old schedule is no longer in effect.  

 

The person I spoke to at Hillsdale today told me that they hope to have
the remaining biography volumes out on a six month schedule, but the
document volumes will take longer because they are new works and not
reprints.

 

It would be nice if Hillsdale would post an estimated schedule for the
remaining books.

It is great news that Churchill's 'Life' will not end in 1939, but it
would be interesting to know if there is a revised and firm schedule for
publication of the remaining volumes.  It seems odd to me that
subscribers are reduced to watching their credit card statements for the
latest news.  Hillsdale College Press seems to be mystery wrapped in a
riddle.

I had been on the verge of asking the list if there was any news
about the next volumes of the OB, but this morning I noticed that
Hillsdale had posted a charge to my credit card, so I assume the books
are on their way.

RE: [ChurchillChat] Official Biography

[Sandy Finlayson]

I just spoke to someone at Hillsdale and was told that indeed the books
are starting to flow again. Volume 6 and the accompanying document
volumes are now out.   Their intention is to go back to the original
schedule for the biography volumes but the remaining document volumes
are still being worked on.

Many thanks for the link :


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/politics-obituaries/7352232/Winston-Churchill.html

A really complicated life!

There is a passage in the obituary which I do not understand :

"When Randolph Churchill died in 1968, Churchill wanted to take on the
biography of Sir Winston that his father had begun. But Lord Hartwell,
proprietor of the Telegraph, with whom the decision lay, engaged the
academic Martin Gilbert, who went on to produce a classic. "

Why should the proprietor of the Daily Telegraph have a say on Randolph
Churchill's successor for the Official Biography? From where did he 
derive
this (heavy) privilege?

Best wishes to all,

[ChurchillChat] Re: Volume 5 companions of OB now available at Hillsdale .

[Sandy Finlayson]

Hillsdale is providing a wonderful service to all of us who love
Churchill and who are appreciative of the scholarship that has gone into
these volumes.

 

I had the privilege of meeting Sir Martin Gilbert in New York just after
the publication of the Churchill in America volume.  I took my copy of
Volume five of the biography with me to have him sign it which he
graciously did.  In the line in front of me was a gentleman who had all
three of the companion volumes which Sir Martin signed for him.  I can
only imagine what signed copies of the original companion volumes are
worth!

I got mine this past Friday. It's kind of surreal to be honest.

 

Last year, I was doing some research on Churchill before World War II
and I tried to get these books through an interlibrary loan.The first
two companions were fairly simple. The third companion took months. Many
book catalogs have the ISBN listing Volume V and not it's third
companion. After numerous attempts, my librarian was diligent enough to
keep trying until we got the right book.

 

When I finally got it, I had only three weeks to digest it before it was
due.

 

I'm glad I finally have these in my library.

[ChurchillChat] Re: Volume 5 companions of OB now available at Hillsdale .

[Sandy Finlayson]

I received mine a couple of weeks ago.  They are massive books with incredible 
information in them.  It's so nice to have them at such a low price.

[ChurchillChat] Re: Churchill Funeral on DVD

[Sandy Finlayson]

It would indeed be great to see this
 
On an unrelated matter, is there any news on when the next set of Hillsdale 
reprints will be released.  I thought it was supposed to be the first week in 
July.

I have a question for you all: does anyone know where there might be a
DVD of Churchill's State Funeral?   I've seen clips of the procession
and service on YouTube, but not the complete service.  I remember
watching the service myself when I was a child, but don't remember
many specifics.   Any assistance you can give will be welcome.   Thank
you!

If someone knows what I'm talking about, I'd be grateful for the link!

One of my favorite Churchill books of all time is Martin Gilbert's In
Search of Churchill

ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240260605&sr=1-1

 

It is a well written, fast paced book that I have read and read again.

John Keegan's biography on Churchill is a good read. It's just over 200
pages and is a fast read. Keegan (British) starts out with his discovery
in 1950's that Americans found Churchill's words inspiring. This
ultimately led him to write the book. I've given it as a gift to several
people.

The book has to be a moderate length read with action and it has to be

I will appreciate any recommendations.

Gents: "Winston" is quite right. I was given 12hrs to write the
captions and at least four of them are wrong: page 1 (what a page for
a clanger--Anderson not Attlee, May not April);  144 (Yalta not
Teheran), 532 (bedroom not study). On page 11 of the British edition
(corrected in the American), WSC is in a tommy's helmet inspecting
Dover's defenses in 1943, not a poilu's helmet in WW1. And, on 380,
he's probably not campaigning in Woodford.  However, this is one of
the few books to offer errata and addenda seriatum on the web, see
http://xrl.us/j2uc8. Most of them are mine, not Churchill's. (In only
one case did I find Churchill to be factually wrong--a simple dating
error. Of course this excludes debates about German rearmament, for
example.)

Popular quotes of others by Churchill are identified, not deprecated.
They are tributes to his broad reading and photographic memory. He
would not wish to be credited with words he did not originate.

Creating a book as complicated as this is a constant running battle
between conflicting sources, experts who disagree with each other and
inexorable deadlines. Twenty nits are combed out of the second U.S.
printing. The rest will be corrected in the next printing, as
Churchill said to Bernard Shaw, "if there is one."

[ChurchillChat] Hillsdale Churchill

[Sandy Finlayson]

Checking my credit card this morning I see that Hillsdale has debited my
account for new release of the Churchill Companion Volumes, so it looks
as if we will have some new books to read in the next few days!

 

Hillsdale is doing a fabulous job with these books and I'm very grateful
to them for undertaking this major endeavor!

After the results of last nights election, not surprisingly, I am
reminded of a Churchill quote. Regardless of context, his words are
resonant today.

"We do not seek to pit one race against the other in the hope of
profiting from the quarrel. We hope to build upon the reconcilation
and not upon the rivalry of the races. We hope that it may be our
fortune so to dispose of affairs that these two valiant, strong races
may dwell  together side by side in peace and amity under the shelter
of an equal flag."

Many thanks for the update.  I never thought I would be able to own these rare

order with the last set of Companion volumes and will be waiting anxiously for 
future releases!

IV




Starting a new thread as I'm not sure where Sandy Finlayson's query
was posted.
Sandy asked about the status of Volume IV, "The Stricken World
1916-1922," and its trio of Companion Volumes. From Hillsdale's
editor, Douglas Jeffrey:

"The books are done. The hold-up has been the dust jackets, which had
to be reprinted because the color on the first batch was slightly off
(this is a recurring problem we have had which is inexplicable to me).
Anyway, that problem has been resolved now and I have just requested a
delivery date. I'll let you know what I hear. Volume V and companions
are scheduled for April."

Hillsdale is getting to the heart of the matter now: first edition
Companions to Vols IV and V are rare indeed, and bringing enormous
prices on the secondhand market, so demand for these reprints will be
high. Order yours from:
www.hillsdale.edu/news/freedomlibrary/churchill.asp or telephone toll-
free (800) 437-2268.
