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] Churchill, the orator
Dear fellow churchillians, I am presently writing a book on the rheroric aspects of WSC´s career. I was recently contacted by a publisher who has read some of my essays on the subject in a major Swedish morning paper. The book will be in Swedish (sorry) but naturally I hope for an English edition. I would be very thankful if my fellow list members could provide me information on sources. Naturally, I have access to a great number of speeches by WSC and to his own writing on the subject. I have also studied some of his role models (Cochran, Lord Randolph, Gladstone, Gibbons, Mackaulay, etc) and I have read an excellent book on the subject, written by James C Humes. Still, I would be very grateful for any information on individuals, institutions, scientific studies or non-fiction literature dealing with WSC as a rhetorical phenomenon. All the best from a chilly Sweden Peter S. Adler Peter S.

[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.
