In Command Of History

In 1953, when Winston Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, the citation noted his mastery of historical and biographical description. Churchill`s six-volume HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR--which is really both memoir as well as history--was an unprecedented publishing event between 1948 and 1954. David Reynolds`s IN COMMAND OF HISTORY tells the story behind the stories of how Churchill came to write his masterpiece. Reynolds is forthcoming about Churchill`s motives and his method of writing (he used teams of ghostwriters), as well as the historical revisionism and mythmaking that comprise the six volumes. Nevertheless, Churchill`s literate but accessible account, based on his experiences and using documents only he had access to, touched a nerve with readers thirsty for a comprehensive history of the recent war, from the leader who had motivated the British people in their finest hour. Reynolds makes history and biography come alive in his portrait of Churchill the historian.... In Command Of History

Written by a conservative as a corrective to the revisionist, liberal view of American history, this textbook-like overview from the Puritans through the Clinton administration explodes what the author sees as the many myths and distortions of the people's history approach. History professor Thomas Woods relates major events and episodes, and discusses key issues in depth, as a counter to the national narrative promulgated by runaway PC liberalism, which, in his view, has become dominant through endless repetition.
