内容简介
Churchill's image is as an imperial die-hard, implacably opposed to colonial freedom. However, his relationship to Empire is far more complex and ambigious. Written by the acclaimed young historian Richard Toye, this absorbing book is the first to provide a comprehensive account of Churchill's lifelong involvement with Empire, from his childhood schooldays to his final premiership in the 1950s. Combining a lightness of touch and surprising detail with expert and insightful hypotheses, and drawing upon a wealth of published and unpublished evidence - from private diaries to African war poetry - Churchill's Empireprovides a vivid and dynamic account of a remarkable man and an extraordinary era.
作者简介
Richard Toye is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of History at the University of Exeter. He is the author of the critically acclaimed Lloyd George and Churchill: Rivals for Greatness. He lives in Exeter with his wife and two sons.
精彩书评
'Churchill's Empire is the first book to cover all the ground. It does so in a masterly fashion, drawing on much fresh evidence, teasing out the nuances of Churchill's attitudes and providing a marvellously illuminating appraisal...Toye traces Churchill's shifts and velleities with impressive sill and erudition, using a vast range of contemporary newspapers to particularly good effect... Richard Toye deserves all credit for producing such an important and original book.'--Literary Review
'...gives a refreshing treatment to an aspect of Churchill's career that has hitherto received scant attention...In this intriguing study Toye does an excellent job of exploring the subtle contradictions of Churchill's peculiar imperial outlook.'
--Christopher Silvester, Daily Express
'In this lucid and engaging book, Richard Toye puts to use the historians craft...Rather than yet another biography of Churchill, Toye has given us a thought-provoking, sensitive account of the nerve and muscle of empire.'
--Frank Trentmann, Sunday Express
'Winston Churchill's reputation as a hardline imperialist is questioned here...This detailed, engaging biography dwells on the dichotomy between Churchill pre- and post-second world war: between a time he was considered almost a danger to the empire, and a time he was considered its saviour.'
--Emmanuelle Smith, Financial Times
'This interesting and informative book throws much light on Churchill and the ambiguous relationship he had with the Empire...anyone with an interest in 20th century history or in Churchill will find much that is surprising in this meticulously researched book, which is nevertheless written with great style and clarity.'
--Susan Hill, The Lady
