Book Review - Churchill’s Empire - By Richard Toye - NYTimes.com
Winston Churchill is remembered for leading Britain through her finest hour
— but what if he also led the country through her most shameful one? What if, in
addition to rousing a nation to save the world from the Nazis, he fought for a
raw white supremacy and a concentration camp network of his own? This question
burns through Richard Toye’s superb, unsettling new history, “Churchill’s
Empire” — and is even seeping into the Oval Office.
The Book Review is titled "The Two Churchills," and makes the point that for all the things we admire Churchill for, he was not always right.
