YOU MAY HAVE MISSED IT; WAS NOT ANNOUNCED IN ANY LARGE WAY AROUND THE WORLD, BUT WAS ON CBC RADIO NEWS.
A FEW DAYS AGO IT WAS 50 YEARS SINCE THE DEATH OF SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL!
WOW....CAN REMEMBER....HOW TIMES FLIES !
THERE WERE MANY GREAT MEN IN THE 20TH CENTURY; INVENTORS, IN SCIENCE, AND MANY OTHER FIELDS OF TALENT; MEN LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING AND ETC.
BUT THE MAN OF THE CENTURY MUST SURELY GO TO SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL.
HE WAS A MAN OF MANY TALENTS...... JOURNALIST, FIRST WORLD WAR VETERAN, PAINTER, EXPERT BRICK LAYER; HISTORIAN; AND OF COURSE THE BRILLIANT LEADER OF THE WEST AGAINST THE HORRIFIC MAD DOG HITLER AND THE NAZI CLONES, THAT BROUGHT ON THE WORLD THE GREATEST KILLING IN WAR THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN, TO DATE.
HIS INSPIRATION AND LEADERSHIP DURING WW2 WILL REMAIN FAMOUS FOREVER.
HIS POLITICAL LIFE IS ALSO IMMENSELY INTERESTING.
HIS HUMOR IS OFTEN MISSED BY MANY.
HIS EMOTIONAL PERSONALITY IS MISSED BY MANY UNLESS YOU'VE READ ACCOUNTS, OF OFTEN TEARS RUNNING DOWN HIS CHEEKS, AT THE THOUGHT OF ALL THE BRAVE LIVES OF SOLDIERS WHO WOULD DIE, IN THE CAUSE OF DEFEATING HITLER.
HIS WRITING WAS PROLIFIC.
AMONG IT ALL WAS HIS FOUR VOLUMES OF "THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE."
HIS PAGES ON THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR MUST GO DOWN AS ONE OF, IF NOT THE BEST OF, A SUCCINCT CLASSIC.
YOU CAN FIND THAT EXPOUNDING AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE ON MY WEBSITE, UNDER THE HISTORY SECTION.
MORE ON SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL IS FOUND UNDER "MISCELLANEOUS" ON MY WEBSITE.
INDEED IN MY BOOKS [AND MANY OTHERS ALSO] SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL WAS THE GREATEST MAN OF THE 20TH CENTURY.
