This book examines Churchill's actions as a peacemaker and peacekeeper.
Although he is best remembered as a man of war, the primary focus of Churchill's long career was his attempt to keep and restore peace throughout the world. In this book, scholars from the United States, Great Britain, and South Africa examine this other facet of his statesmanship.Winston Churchill had an acute appreciation of what belongs to war and what belongs to peace. We tend to remember his resistance to Nazi tyranny during the Second World War and his actions as a man of war. In this book, scholars from the United States, Great Britain, and South Africa examine his other actions and comments, those that reflect the primary focus of Churchill's long career: his attempts to keep and restore peace throughout the world, from Queen Victoria's little wars to the Cold War.
