No war aims save victory.......2006-01-11

Charmley, and some his reviewers, have got things wrong. Sure Churchill was an empire man, that is why he got so unpopular between the wars, when he resisted efforts to give India even the most limited self-government.

But Churchill had no war aims, save victory. OK, victory was important, but we would not have had victory on Churchill's watch.

He was terrified of D-Day, believing a re-run of the Battle of the Somme was in the offing.

All his life, he was a side-show man. When troops were needed in Normandy, he pleaded for them to stay in Italy.

In 1939-40 he even floated a notion - you could not call it a plan - to attack Germany via the Caucusus! The small matter of crossing Russia didn't seem to daunt him.

Then there was his little known adventure in the Eastern Mediterranean in 1943: this was an attempt to drag Turkey into the war. It was a dismal and humiliating failure.

Unlike the other two leaders, Churchill lacked post-war aims.

Stalin was quite clear: he wanted to take Communism westwards. He got his way.

Roosevelt had clear war aims: one of which was to break down the system of trade on which the British Empire was based. He got his way, though he did not live to see it. (Globalisation started here.)

Churchill? He basked in glory, a romantic to the end. Was he good for Britain, though?

He got it wrong, very wrong on Europe: one of the biggest lost opportunities in British history was waved away by a nation that ended the war under the killer illusion that it was still a great power.

More of an apologist for Chamberlin than anything else........2004-10-26

While Churchill's status as an icon is entirely too uncritical of a brilliant but erratic and flawed statesman, this is hardly a good faith effort to due Churchill justice. Charmley's constant apologies, evasions and outright deception regarding Neville Chamberlain's failed and ongoing efforts at appeasement after Munich & Churchill's opposing efforts clearly stems from an agenda more to rehabilitate Chamberlain's reputation than to do justice to Churchill's actions. Charmley's deception in this area is extreme. His reference more to Chamberlain & Halifax's diaries & letters than to Churchill's for the 3 chapters leading up to Churchill's ascent to Prime Minister doesn't do him much credit nor does his uncritical and adoring acceptance of Chamberlain's evaluations of virtually everything and everyone, including Hitler of all people. To give an example, Charmley, disregards 3 separate accounts of Churchill not rising to applaud Chamberlin's speech in the House of Commons upon his return from Munich as not being either recorded at the time or of being suspect due to malice toward Chamberlain. This same `critical' eye paints Chamberlain as being relentlessly opposed to Hitler after Hitler's entry into Prague in May 1939 in spite of Chamberlin's constant well documented efforts to continue appeasement after that time. He even neglects to mention Chamberlin's efforts to continue appeasement negotiations that continued even after Poland's invasion, not even mentioning something as significant as the Cabinet's revolt and ultimatum to Chamberlain that he must put a deadline on negotiations to Hitler & withdrawal from Poland on the 2nd day after Poland's invasion. All in all this book has some valid debunking of Churchill's myth and questions about the long term costs of Churchill's decisions but it is at times blatantly deceptive and far, far too uncritical of Churchill's rivals, none of whom except Eden are subject to much criticism.

Flawed premise but some valid criticism of Churchill.......2003-12-18

I regard Churchill as one of the alltime overrated figures in history, and certainly enjoy seeing him cut down to size. Charmley provides a veritable all-you-can-eat buffet for Churchill haters, as he recounts in excrutiating detail the extraordinarily flawed personality of Churchill.

After setting the stage by illustrating Churchill's early years as a relentless opportunist and self-promoter, Charmley begins to build his case that Churchill was not the great wartime leader that posterity would have us believe, and in fact did not even have a sound grasp of military operational strategy. The most glaring example is, of course, the Gallipoli Campaign, which was an unmitigated disaster and effectively ended Churchill's political career for more than two decades. Churchill had gotten his shot at the big time (by becoming First Lord of the Admiralty) and had blown it. When he got his second chance, he showed that he had learned effectively nothing in the intervening period about military operations. Throughout World War II, he would attempt to undertake various zany military campaigns, most of which were politely ignored by the Allied commanders.

While demonstrating Churchill's ineptitude in this area, Charmley (clearly a Neville Chamberlain apologist) builds a reasonably convincing case for Chamberlain, arguing that Chamberlain was using appeasement more as a tool for buying time than anything else. Far from being the naive optimist, Chamberlain was quite sure, argues Charmley, that Hitler was not to be trusted in any agreement. While giving Hitler what he wanted, Chamberlain was quietly building up Britain's military strength for the war he was sure to come. Because one cannot create a potent fighting force overnight, Chamberlain knew he had to buy time by whatever means necessary. Churchill, by contrast, was ready to rush into war with Germany in 1937-38, when Britain was in no way prepared to fight a continental war.

Up to this point, Charmley's treatment of Churchill is reasonable from a scholarly standpoint. He can make coherent arguments and back them up with citations and evidence. However, Charmley's main beef with Churchill has never been that he was reckless & impetuous, or that he wasn't the great military mastermind. Charmley's problem with Churchill is that he lost the British Empire. At this point, Charmley's book begins to fall apart.

Charmley is writing from the perspective of someone who thinks the British Empire was a pretty neat thing, and wishes that Britain still had its empire, just like the good old days. In subsequent writings, Charmley has taken his argument even further, casting FDR as an anti-imperial villain who had, as one of his wartime goals, the deliberate destruction of the old colonial empires. In Charmley's opinion, the primary goal of the British High Command during World War II should have been the preservation of the British Empire. The defeat of the Nazis and containment of the Soviet Union? Sure, the British could have tried to do that also, but the preservation of the Empire was the important thing.

In fact, the British High Command was trying to do exactly that, and was continually butting heads with General George Marshall over priorities in strategy. The US wanted as its goal the invasion of Europe proper, and had hoped to launch the Normandy campaign in 1943, a full year before D-Day. The British, by contrast, favored a peripheral approach, sending valuable resources to reclaim portions of British territory that had been seized by Germany & Japan. The British also wanted opportunities for their commanders (such as Montgomery) to win glory on the field. The concessions the US made to Britain, it can be argued, prolonged the war in Europe by up to a year.

So Charmley's argument that Churchill did not do enough militarily to preserve the Empire is not particularly valid. Charmley probably understands this, because he also comes as close he can to stating (without actually doing it) that maybe, just maybe, Churchill might have been well-advised to cut a deal with the Nazis, keep the Empire intact, and focus on the real enemy, which was (in Charmley's conservative viewpoint) the Soviet Union. Charmley does not explicitly say this, because he would then run the risk of being lumped into the same category as the likes of David Irving. However, he makes this argument repeatedly, in as an oblique a fashion as he can muster.

The whole problem is that Charmley bases his argument on the premise that the British Empire could in fact have been saved, and this is where the biggest flaws in this book creep in. Charmley would like to ignore the fact that the British Empire had been slowly coming apart at the seams since the Boer War. Even during Victoria's reign, Britain had been struggling to provide the resources necessary to maintain Imperial control. The attrition of World War I was effectively the final nail in the Imperial coffin; it was only a matter of time before the inevitable occurred. One only has to look at post-war France, which tried to restore its colonial empire by force, to see how things probably would have turned out for Britain.

One can also ask the question, is Charmley's belief that the Empire deserved to be preserved valid? This is definitely a matter of perspective. Did the British Empire ultimately do more harm than good? Conservatives like Charmley and Thomas Sowell may think that the British Empire overall was a good thing, but I do not agree with that at all. When you get right down to it, the Empire was simply the subjugation by Britain of other peoples & cultures by naked military force. I don't recall too many subject people voluntarily entering the British Empire. If FDR wasn't bent on destroying the British Empire, he should have been.

While Charmley does provide some valid criticism of Churchill in this book, overall his most important criticisms are based on some seriously flawed premises. In the end, this calls into question the ultimate scholarly value of the book. While it has certainly been controversial enough, does this book truly contribute much to the scholarly debate over Churchill and the history of the 20th century? I don't believe so.

An Abridged Work.......2000-04-03

I was sorely disappointed when finishing the book, not because of poor authorship, but, on the contrary, because Charmley's abrupt ending after a laborious examination of Churchill's political career did not seem at all adequate. He begins with a lurid examination of Churchill's early life and transformation into a political maverick, assaying his beginnings as a freshman MP in 1901 to his rise as one of the most powerful statesmen in the world. Among the most engrossing, although not necessarily new, criticisms are the Prime Minister's deference to the Roosevelt administration's foreign policy, which the author believes, with very much justification, was a catalyst that helped to bring about the Cold War and the eventual dismemberment of the British Empire. Charmley also draws parallels with Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler in 1938 with that of Churchill's handling of Stalin in 1945, and infers Churchill was hypocritical in his criticism of the Munich Pact, in part because of his later policies with regard to the Soviet Union. But after the chapter on the fall of the Churchill government in 1945, the book wraps itself up with a conclusion of little more than two pages; this is hardly befitting such a monumental undertaking. Charmley does not take interest in documenting Churchill's postwar exploits, and makes almost no reference to his Fulton speech or his return to power in 1951. For those already familiar with the standard "song and dance" given by most Churchill biographers, this work is definitely worth your time, but those expecting a more plenary reference on all of Churchill's political career, not just that until 1945, should look elsewhere.

Misses the mark in trying to be a revisionist on Churchill.......1999-03-07

John Charmley did not do his homework. There are so many things about Churchill he missed. He greatly understates his case that Churchill, by fighting World War II, lost Britain's empire. Far from being a vigorous and foresighted leader, Churchill was incredibly lazy and inept, and Charmley misses this. Churchill failed to prevent the spread of television, failed to stop the invention of the transistor and the integrated circuit, was completely asleep at the switch during the invention of the jet engine and the intercontinental jet airliner. And these are only a few of the things that Churchill didn't stop! Of course, it was these, combined with the continued outward spread of the Enlightenment from Europe, that lost Britain its empire. So, if the lost empire is the "fruit" of Churchill's leadership, at least let's be complete in our condemnation of the man. Otherwise, he might be seen as a leader of bottomless courage, able to inspire an entire nation to rise above itself and distinguish itself for all time, while in the bargain saving Western Civilization. Churchill knew evil when he saw it. Given how difficult it was to launch the D-Day invasion, the mind boggles at what would have happened had Britain gone down.

From the supplier: John Charmley's assertions in his criticisms of Winston Churchill seem misguided in analyzing what options Churchill had to combat Germany and work militarily with the US. His failure to make peace with Germany in the early 1940s became his political undoing, despite the inevitability of war.

Book Description

This book was written by Gene K. Garrison about Hube Yates, which, for the purposes of "From Thunder to Breakfast," took place when Hube was an excited 11-year-old ranch boy living in Guthrie, Oklahoma. The family of nine made the arduous and adventure-packed journey to Phoenix, Arizona in two covered wagons. The year was 1914.

Yates eventually became a Phoenix fireman, horseman, part-time minister, hunting guide and dude wrangler. His experiences, from the hilarious to the heroic, lasted into his seventies, and so did his special gift for charming an audience. He had a great memory for detail, and described his adventures in a warm, down-to-earth style, full of image-rich phrases. A middle-aged cowboy was "all silver around the ears. He had gray-blue eyes as clear as crystal. He also looked like the kind of guy you'd like to have on your side if you had any trouble."

Although this sounds as though it's a man's book, Western style, reviewers, especially of the feminine gender, also see Yates' gentle, tender, caring side. True, he saved lives and won the Carnegie Hero's Medal for a dangerous exploit, but his sensitive, caring nature was disengaged only when he was going through a practical-joke period.

Hugh Downs wrote the foreword to this book. He said, in part, that Yates "is able to relate the simplest event with uncontrived humor that is simultaneously subtle and powerfully funny. " He didn't overlook Yates' character, adding, "Every subject or event that intersects his life, every experience he files in his almost computer-like memory is stamped with the grace of an outlook that is humane and helpful, devoid of self-centeredness or bitterness, and amused by most of the cosmic panorama."

Even though Hube Yates was a Southwesterner of the highest order, a man we should try to emulate, people were drawn to him because they loved to listen to him talk. Listening to him via the pages of "From Thunder to Breakfast" is the next best thing. Author Gene K. Garrison was careful to catch his speech patterns and colloquialisms. People who knew him can hear him talk when they read this book.

Pull Up A Chair And Sit A Spell.......2007-09-26

From Thunder to Breakfast by Hubert A. Yates & Gene K.Garrison

I met the most interesting man the other night.

I met Hube Yates in the pages of a wonderful book named From Thunder to Breakfast written by Gene K. Garrison. He is unlike any man I have ever met before, whether in real life or in the corners of my imagination. Definitely a character, I also found him to be a trickster who enjoyed a good heartfelt chuckle, but one who exemplified a spirit, sweet and true. A man who rose to every occasion life ever handed him, who always tried to do the right thing his family and society demanded of him. It occurs to me as I write these words that calling Hube Yates a hero wouldn't be exaggerating too much!

From Thunder to Breakfast tells the story of Mr. Yates' life & begins when he is eleven, traveling through the wild west to the family's new home. He wasn't disappointed in the dusty, lonely journey at all; not with standing guard at night with his 12 gauge single-shot rifle; not in meeting Indians; not even in stumbling into a group of horse thieves or the sheriffs who pursued them. In fact, after reading many of Mr. Yates' adventures during his life-time, I don't think he was disappointed in anything that ever happened to him, but instead saw it as a chance for another great story!

And what stories he tells in this book!!! There are a few more of Yates as a youngster; running away while in his teens because he didn't want to finish his "schoolin'" to the big bicycle race when he was seventeen and he earned the name Leather Lung Yates because he beat everyone in the one hundred forty four mile race. My favorite story is titled "The Frog Stunt" and shows Hube as the consummate trickster. All I'll say is that it involves a 300 pound Chief of Police, a baseball rivalry between the firemen and police, a hot summer day, some water and well, frogs.

Reading From Thunder to Breakfast is like being present when an older relative starts to remember back when. The stories are precious for the knowledge of times long gone and are told in a down-to-earth manner. They aren't fancy w/ glowing descriptions or metaphors or figurative language. Instead, you get pure storytelling at its finest, with adventures and giggles thrown in for sweetening. Go on, pull up a chair, kick back and open up this book. You'll be glad you met Hube Yates.

An entertaining learning adventure........2003-02-24

While reading From Thunder To Breakfast I felt as though I had stumbled across someone's long lost journal. There's always that feeling of both mystery and enchantment when discovering such a treasure.

Hube Yates recounts his many journeys and experiences in a factual and humorous manner. The writing mirrors his speech.

old-timer tales of another time & place - fascinating!.......2003-02-01

With a Foreword by Hugh Downs who moved to Arizona & came across this loquacious pioneer, with his authentic & amusing memories.

In 1914 Hube Yates was all of eleven years old when his minister father uprooted his family from the 160-acre claim he had homesteaded when the Cherokee Strip was run, & with his wife & six children, & two wagons pulled by mules, they headed out from Guthrie, Oklahoma to faraway Phoenix, Arizona.

Stories of another time in another place, told with a quiet, under-stated turn of phrase that demands you consider the twinkle in his eyes.

Book Description

Ernest Belfort Bax was among the most original and gifted of the first generation of Marxists in Victorian England, and an intimate of luminaries such as William Morris, who considered him the philosopher of the movement. He had first-hand experience of the 19th century tradition of German philosophy which so profoundly influenced Karl Marx, and was a close friend of Engels. Bax was a prolific writer and speaker, the organizer of the Second International, leader of English Social Democracy and a colleague of all the leading European social democratic intellectuals of his time.

This biography of Bax sets him in his privileged Victorian middle-class context, analyzes his political and intellectual development, and assesses his achievements and their significance for his own time and later.

Takes a Genealogist.......2000-08-26

Love in the 90s is an inspiring document of a true-life love story. If you despair of ever finding real love, if your view of love in the new Millennium is jaded, if you think romantic love cannot last longer than one full cycle of the moon, you must read this book. The wonder of it is that these two passionate lovers became passionate genealogists, too. They recognized the importance of documenting significant thoughts and moments on paper and handing them down to their progeny. Without that sense of history, these wonderful love letters might never have touched loves in the year 2000. Do read them and glory in the wonderful photographs taken of the Blakeys by their devoted granddaughter, Keri Pickett.

Inspirational and a Truly Delightful Love Story.......2000-08-24

In this day and age of one-night-stands/casual sex, disbelief in a sovereign God, and divorce rates at an all time high (wonder why?) it's refreshing to read a book that reflects two people who truly were in love and as commited to each other, as they were to their relationship with God. I found it very refreshing and instills my strongly held belief that maintaining a strong faith in God, holding onto a higher moral standard, and having faith there is someone special out there (don't settle for less!) will result in an unselfish and loving heart and the morals and values needed to maintain and truly have a rewarding, long and satisfying relationship beyond our wildest dreams.

Love is infinite.......1999-08-06

I just want to say that this book touched the very depth of my soul..... Even though it happen out of an innocent proposition it led to the most romantic and timeless conviction that LOVE is deep and can last a life time......

To what we all aspire.......1998-12-17

This is a beautiful dedication to a photojournalist's grandparents and the story of their enduring love. I read this book two years ago while working at B.Dalton and was in a rocky marriage at the time. I was very touched and moved by the power this couple had; through wonderfully written love letters spanning their courtship years and into the fifty some years of marriage, it is evident that B.B. and Jo found the kind of love we all want. Now divorced, this book remains an inspiration to me in the hope of finding true love. It makes a great gift for anyone who has ever questioned whether such a thing exists.
