Oblivion or Glory: 1921 and the Making of Winston Churchill Audiobook (Free)

An participating and original accounts of 1921, a pivotal calendar year for Winston Churchill that had a enduring effect on his political and personal legacy

Following the tragic consequences of his involvement in the catastrophic Dardanelles Campaign of World War I, Churchill’s political career seemed over. He was broadly regarded as little more when compared to a bombastic and unpredictable buccaneer until, in 1921, an unexpected inheritance heralded some occasions that laid the foundations for his future success.

Renowned Churchill scholar David Stafford delves in to the statesman’s life in 1921, the year in which his politics career revived. From his politics discussions in the Anglo-Irish treaty that created the Irish Free Condition, to his tumultuous relationship with his “crazy cousin” Clare Sheridan, sculptor of Lenin and subject matter of the MI5 analysis, this broad account explores the nuances of both Churchill’s personal and open public lives. This is an interesting portrait of the overlooked yet pivotal 12 months in the fantastic man’s life.
