The Hobo Philosopher.......2007-09-21

This is William Manchester at his best. This is fascinating reading and fascinating writing. Of course Winston Churchill was quite a character but to be honest I didn't know that fact until I read this book and its companion volume.
After reading this book I put it to my mind that I would read everything that Manchester wrote. I've got a couple more to go. You can't miss with this purchase. A great story, great writing, and good history. What more could you ask for?

Fantastic read.......2007-06-18

I am a little half way through the book, but it already is one of the best books I have ever read. The book deserves all the accolade. Manchester's approach to biography is a little different from many others in that he did not shy away from coloring the narrative with events that were yet to occur. He always hinted the historical significance of events in light of what happened later. I find this extremely helpful. For example: Churchill's fascination with early airplanes, his conception of tanks when dealing with a domestic riot are just two examples. These illuminated Churchill was indeed ahead of his peers in recognizing important trends.

The buildup to WWI is masterful. The book weaves Churchill's struggle with the Irish Home rule question together with the naval arms race with Germany in 1913. Since we know WWI started in 1914, the realization that Churchill and the British government were struggling with a domestic problem (which surely was exploited by the German Kaiser) enhances our understanding of the immediate pre-war times.

I knew the old US of A was not a world player before WWI. This book adds to that impression. Until the outbreak of the war, the US is just not on Churhill's radar: it does not show up much in his writing, travel, and speech. Yes, he did a book tour in the US, but that was before he started his political career.

Can't wait to read the second half of the book.

Never Question Your Sanity ,,, It's not You.......2006-12-22

This book should be read (before, after or with) The End of the World as We Know It. The scenarios are almost interchangable.

.......not a secret anymore.............2006-12-11

Actually it is very sad to mention this blunder against humanity:

When the Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers in October and November 1914, Britain's communications with India and the East via the Suez canal was immediately placed in jeopardy.
There was a secret agreement with Germany signed in August 1914 by the Young Turks that was troubling the Russians and taken as warning of the forthcoming trouble to The Tsar. The Russians regarded their Caucasian terrirories were also placed in jeopardy.
Consequently, the British and French, in order to protect their future `colonies' and bisect the `sick man of Europe', had to act forcefully. They opened another front in the South with the Gallipoli (1915) and Mesopotamian campaigns.

Anxious to score his first military encounter with `the enemy', Winston Churchill, in his capacity as Lord of Navy, prematurely urged a combined French and British naval incursion into Gallipoli. But the Turks were successful in repelling the British, French, and Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. and pushed their eventual withdrawal and evacuation.

((By contrast, in Mesopotamia - Iraq- after the disastrous Siege of Kut (1915-16), British Empire forces - mainly of Indian troops - reorganized and captured Baghdad (March 1917). Further to the west in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign, initial British failures were overcome when Jerusalem was captured in December 1917, and the Egyptian Expeditionary Force under Field Marshal Edmund Allenby, broke the Ottoman forces at the Battle of Megiddo in September 1918))

Russia, the protector of the Greek Orthothox Armenian population, sent her best troops in the Caucasus. The Turkish, Vice-Generalissimo Enver Pasha, supreme commander of the ex Ottoman Empire armed forces, was a very ambitious man. His aim and everpresent dream was to conquer central Asia. Enver Pasha, like Winston Churchill, was not a practical soldier. He launched an offensive with 100,000 soldiers against the Russians in the Caucasus in December of 1914.
His main enemy was the severe Weather conditions.
Insisting on a frontal attack against Russian positions in the mountains , Enver lost over 80% of his troops at the Battle of Sarikamis, in the heart of the tough winter season.

In 1917, Russian Grand Duke Nicholas assumed senior control over the Caucasus front. Nicholas tried to have a railway built from Russia (Georgia) to the conquered territories with a view to bringing up more supplies for a new offensive. But, in March of 1917 (February in the pre-revolutionary Russian calendar), the Czar was overthrown in the February Revolution and the Russian army began to slowly fall apart.
Hence, the protector of the Armenians was gone.

Winston Churchill blunder in Gallipoli, opened patched over wounds and re-ignited animosities between the Turks and their Armenian neighbors. In 1915, the Armenians were the victims of his cowardice. The Turks committed a HOLOCAUST against the Armenians that immediately started after WC debacle in Gallipolis.
The mass murder of the Armenians was indeed the first Holocaust of the twentieth century.

A BRILLIANT BIOGRAPHY - WELL DONE!.......2006-07-27

This is a brilliantly written biography of one of the most fascinating characters in history. Like most of Mnchester's work (I must admit to being a big fan), this is a very readable biography, well researched and holds the reader's interest from page to page. We see so much of Churchhill in his role as a WWII leader that we tend to forget there was a young man, living, learning and growing before the back and white films we see today. It is good to be reminded of this from time to time. It is also, for those interested, to learn how a world leader of Churchill's calibre came into being, how he developed and why he was the way he was. This work gives us great insight to those questions. Cannot recommend this work highly enough.

Exciting, Scholarly, Prescient.......2001-10-29

William Honan has done history buffs and strategists alike a signal service in presenting this exciting biography of Hector C. Bywater. Not content with a biography of this journalist, spy and prophet, Honan attempts to do more: understand Bywater's intellectual development--a transformation which led him to foresee what others felt was absurd: a trans-Pacific war between the U.S. and Japan. Honan unearths Bywaters public debates with none other than Franklin D. Roosevelt--at that time a naive pacifist--as well as coming close to proving that Japan's Admiral Yamamoto seized on Bywater's ideas to create the Japanese strategy that culminated in Pearl Harbor and the rout of MacArthur in the Phillippines. For strategists, Visions of Infamy carves a statue to what it really takes to think with vigor and independence.

Part One Of Two Parts

It is hard to imagine anything new about Churchill. But in this life of the young lion, William Manchester brings us fresh encounters and anecdotes. Alive with examples of Churchill's early powers, THE LAST LION entertains and instructs.

"Manchester is not only master of detail, but also of `the big picture.'...I daresay most Americans reading THE LAST LION will relish it immensely." (National Review)

Customer Reviews:

VERY GOOD!.......2007-09-27

This is a very good analysis of Churchill, a thorough and colorfull portrait of a man I consider to be the greatest man of the 20th century. I have only two complaints, first I would have liked to have known more about his life with his wife and children. I also would have liked to have known what he thought of the Lusitania sinking. Not only does Manchester say nothing about Churchill's role in this business but the word Lusitania is not mentioned at all in nearly 2000 pages. Very strange. The letters of Churchill point out the chivalrousness and romantic nature that the public has not seen. All in all - very good and well worth a good read.

What a great writer, writing about an even better man!.......2007-05-18

William Manchester is a tremendous writer. A man like Churchill deserved to have his biography writted by a writer as gifted as him.
I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting, not only to learn much about the great man Churchill, but also to have their mind expanded and stretched by excellent literature like this. There are not many people writing like this today, sadly enough.
This is not an easy read, in fact most people will do well to have a dictionary near by - but it is worth it. Drink deeply and you will learn so much more than you would have thought possible about the world from the late 19th century up through WWII.
Drink it up! 6 stars.

As Good as Biography Gets.......2005-11-08

This fully lives up to its reputation as perhaps the best biography ever written. Manchester does a peerless, masterful job filling in the background colors and giving a complete picture of Churchill from a young man into his early fifties. As Manchester emphasizes, this background was essentially the decline and fall of the British Empire and the aristocracy who ran it. Manchester's main point, that Churchill was a Victorian who also lived in the twentieth century, is brilliantly made. Churchill himself is presented in all his perplexing, influriating splendor: an impetuous, charming, ambitious genius who all too often jumped out of the plane without a parachute. If you wish to know why he was rejected by the British people at the polls just after his greatest triumph (and job done) this fascinating volume of his early triumphs and memorable failures is indispensible (answer: they needed his boistrous energy in war but they didn't trust him in peace

Best Churchill biography.......2005-03-15

Best biography of the person who really should have been the " greatest person of the 20th century". He, more than anyone else, stood alone against Nazism, which, no matter how you feel about the present state of Western civilization, kept it from being completely unrecognizable today. He pushed Roosevelt into joining Britain against the Nazis, and was willing to push Britain to keep on fighting alone, down to the last person ; at suicidal odds for many months. He had vision, and was fearless. And, prior to WW2, his exploits in the Boer War and in WW1 make his entire life fascinating. The fact that he was very "aristocratic" in his background has probably made his image diminish in our time. That sort of reverse discrimination is very unfair, I feel. He was also witty, not the least bit warm and cuddly (!) and a pretty good painter.

Understand the most Remarkable Man of the 20th Century.......2004-01-14

This is an excellent book on the first half of the life of a truly exceptional man. Mr Manchester's book deals with Winston's early life and his rise to power and fame. I particularly liked the vignettes about life at the turn of the century; the social situation, the class struggle, the morals of the upper and the working classes.

Just reading it makes you feel somehow inadequate against the intellectual brilliance, courage and sheer energy of the subject.

It would have merited a full five star rating but for two faults. It should have been shorter. It as if every single little titbit of information had to be written out in full, rather than filtered through the critical intellect that Mr Manchester undoubtedly possesses. Instead, he quotes too many letters, reports and speeches in full when his job as a biographer was to summarise them.

The second fault was Mr Manchester's tendency to lionise his subject. Brilliant he may have been, but a bit more acknowledgement of Winston's faults would have made him more human and reachable.

Book Description

How did the creation of the "Other" woman in English narratives contribute to the displacement of sexuality onto the exotic or savage woman? How did this cultural invention reinforce the cult of domesticity at home? What were the social and economic forces driving the process? Among the first books to consider issues of empire in relation to literary texts of the eighteenth century, Torrid Zones offers a compelling revision of the history of feminism in a postcolonial context.

Felicity Nussbaum argues that the need to control women's sexuality in eighteenth-century England intensified as the demands of trade and colonization required an ever-larger, able-bodied population. Describing how women's reproductive labor was harnessed to that task, Nussbaum explores issues such as the production of life, of goods, and of desire. She also considers a variety of cultural practices (usually construed as exotic) in England and the empire, including polygamy, infanticide, prostitution, homoeroticism, and arranged marriages.

Torrid Zones includes new readings of significant texts by and about female subjects, including novels by Defoe, Richardson, Johnson, Cleland, Lennox, Sarah Scott, Frances Sheridan, and Phebe Gibbes. It also considers the more broadly defined texts of culture such as travel narratives, medical documents, legal records, and engravings.

"I take as a central metaphor for the consideration of maternity and sexuality the concept of torrid zones, both the geographical torrid zones of the territory between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, and the torrid zone mapped onto the human body, especially the female body. A premise of my study is that the contrasts among the torrid, temperate, and frigid zones of the globe are formative in imagining that a sexualized woman of empire is distinct from domestic English womanhood. The general category of 'woman' muddles the binaries between mother and whore, self and Other, center and periphery." -- from the Introduction

Book Description

This is the incredible story of one man's vision of world commerce. William Paterson was a businessman and economic thinker far ahead of his time, whose place in history is assured. He founded the Bank of England, he helped broker the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England and, above all else, he envisaged a world where nations could trade unencumbered by monopolies and restrictive practices, and companies could be funded with international investment. All more than 300 years ago. In an attempt to realise his dream he set off on a daring voyage across half the globe to establish a trading emporium for the world at Darien, Panama. In the tradition of Longitude, The Man Who Saw the Future is the exciting story of buccaneers, political intrigue, economic vision, failed dreams, warring countries and dogged determination in the face of adversity.

Book Description

An Imperial Vision examines the relationship between culture and power expressed in the architectural forms the British employed in India. From the great monuments of New Delhi to the most obsure structures in dusty country towns, these buildings visibly represented in stone the choices
the British made in politics as imperial rulers. Viewed together they enhanced the hold of the empire over the ruler and the ruled alike.

Customer Reviews:

THE RAJ.......2006-11-12

The British really did empire well, they cultivated the trust of their subjects and backed it up with percision military might. The British were fascinated with India and it shows it the imperial architecture, the fusion of Western and Indian Architecture, most of which is spectacular, expecially in New Delhi. This book has wonderful images and well researched text on the architecture of India during the Raj. The British left India with a thirst for democracy and the buildings in which to excercise their freedom. Highly recommended to anyone with any interest in this subject...and buy Imperial Delhi while your at it..that is the definitive book on the subject.

Margaret of Ashbury.......2007-09-12

I read a lot. These books, their charactors and historical context are as good as any I've ever read! Both my wife and I have been recomending the whole series to family amd freinds.

"Women and trade- they pull a man down from the life of the mind.".......2007-09-09

Set in 14th century London, the first volume of Riley's trilogy introduces the unique Margaret of Ashbury, a young woman whose life is blighted by a heinous husband and a loveless and cruel marriage, only to escape via the black arms of the plague, widowed and alone in an indifferent world. In her darkest moment, doubting her faith, Margaret receives a "Vision of Light", and with it the power to heal, although she uses her gift sparingly and only on those in dire need, sapped of energy by her exertions on behalf of others. Barely recovered from her bout with plague, Margaret falls into the loving care of Mother Hilde, an herbalist and midwife who teaches her the trade.

After successfully aiding the danger-fraught birth of a wealthy man's child, the two join with a band of traveling musicians; but the group separates when they reach London, Margaret settling in Thieves Alley with Mother Hilde and Sebastian, an alchemist seeking the Secret of Life, who assumes the name Brother Malachi for his London incarnation. The trio makes an adequate living through the women's skills at midwifery and healing, supplemented by Malachi's schemes, content in the upward turns in their fortunes. We learn about Margaret's past as she dictates her remarkable story, transcribed by Brother Gregory, a man of noble family who is seeking God and earns his keep by copying for hire.

Of the opinion that women are lesser beings, Brother Gregory is often outraged by Margaret's prideful tales, but also impressed with the lady's fortitude as she relays her troubled existence until a fortunate marriage to an ageing merchant who adores her. It doesn't help that Margaret possesses the very intimacy with God that Brother Gregory seeks. As her story unfolds, Margaret speaks of her days as a midwife, practicing the healing arts and attracting the envy of others who deliver her into the hands of the Inquisitors, brought low by those who question her faith, her spirit all but broken. There is no respite for females in this society, men primed to take advantage of any woman's misfortune to their own profit. Her fate is far from settled Margaret gallops away from her London home into an unknown future.

In a century shadowed by the terrors of the Inquisition, a healer like Margaret is always in danger, easily accused of practicing the Devil's art, especially in matters related to Eve's daughters, females thought to be little more than breeders or chattels. Riley's protagonist is sympathetic, triumphing in spite of the abuses heaped upon her, coexisting with the poorest of those who make their living by their wits, confronting the Church's cruelest emissaries, safe but for a moment before she is snatched once more from the arms of comfort. Surviving this society is no small matter; Margaret does it with panache, continuing her saga over two more volumes, each contributing to the myth of Margaret of Ashbury, awash with drama, tragedy and triumph. Luan Gaines/ 2007.

As satisfying as a box of chocolate chip cookies, but without the calories.......2007-04-22

There's something warm and cozy about a really excellent historical novel. You get to disappear into another space and time, as well as into a character-centric story -- and you can justify the wallow because, after all, you're learning about a historical era. It's as good a feeling as eating an entire box of chocolate chip cookies, without any pesky calories to annoy you.

A Vision of Light is, flat out, what you want from a historical novel. The storytelling is excellent, with a few plot twists I hadn't predicted. The characters are believeable; both Margaret and Brother Gregory have strengths and faults. The history is well integrated into the story, too, so you never (well *almost* never) feel as though the author walked Margeret into a scene to show off what a typical country fair was like in the 14th century, or so the author could demonstrate her scholarship. (Though if you pay attention you will certainly learn a lot.)

Mostly, though, this is just darned good reading. Margaret manages to be both a woman of her time (very religious, for example), and enlightened enough to satisfy modern readers (such as, when serving as a midwife, trying to figure out if she can construct a tool to save more babies during difficult births). In some books, that balance doesn't work, but here it truly does. Perhaps it's because Margaret is less a "heroine" than a woman simply trying to get by as we all do... and her path simply takes her to a wide range of interesting destinations. It has romance but it isn't "only" romance.

I totally fell into this book, and stayed up entirely too late at night to read "just to the end of the chapter" (never mind that it was 20 pages away). If you want just a good, enjoyable get-away-from-life novel, grab this one.

Can't put the book down.......2007-03-06

Excellent and intriguing in so far as the historical details go. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was the very disappointing ending. The reader wants so much for Margaret to be happy which she probably would have been if she had lived with Gregory in the Kendall house. I was very happy to find out that the the storyline is continued in 2 other books.

However, and I may be wrong, I did notice one "mistake" in the storyline that I think the author overlooked. Towards the end, during a time Margaret is dictating her story to B. Gregory, she tells of the time her brother David came to see her; her youngest daughter was an infant at the time. In her dictation she mentions that she didn't have the heart to tell David he was favored by the abbott only because of their mother's paternal lineage. However, Margaret could not have had this information at this time because Gregory was the one who told her and she did not meet Gregory until her daughters where 6 and 7 years of age. Did anyone else catch this slip up?

It wasn't easy..........2007-02-10

being a woman in the 14th century. You had your place and it wasn't one in which you were allowed to be educated, literate, or to have an opinion. Much tragedy has occurred for poor Margaret but her kind spirit keeps you comforted as she tells her tale to the scribe her husband has hired. She's been given an extraordinary gift and she's got to be careful how she uses it in a place and time where you can be killed for what someone perceives as heresy. The story seamlessly moves from present to past and back again. My only fault with this book is the ending wasn't satisfying. How grateful I was to find a sequel!

Book Description

The new practices and theories of parliamentary representation that emerged during Elizabeth's and James' reigns shattered the unity of human agency, redefined the nature of power, transformed the image of the body politic, and unsettled constructs and concepts as fundamental as the relation between presence and absence.

In The Third Citizen, Oliver Arnold argues that recovering the formation of political representation as an effective ideology should radically change our understanding of early modern political culture, Shakespeare's political art, and the way Anglo-American critics, for whom representative democracy is second nature, construe both. In magisterial readings of Titus Andronicus, Julius Caesar, Coriolanus, and the First Tetralogy, Arnold discovers a new Shakespeare who was neither a conservative apologist for monarchy nor a prescient, liberal champion of the House of Commons but instead a radical thinker and artist who demystified the ideology of political representation in the moment of its first flowering. Shakespeare believed that political representation produced (and required for its reproduction) a new kind of subject and a new kind of subjectivity, and he fashioned a new kind of tragedy to represent the loss of power, the fall from dignity, the false consciousness, and the grief peculiar to the experiences of representing and of being represented. Representationalism and its subject mark the beginning of political modernity; Shakespeare's tragedies greet political representationalism with skepticism, bleakness, and despair.
