![]() ![]() His dispatches from the Spanish war against Cuban revolutionaries gave him his first minutes of fame, his articles from the front in Northern India gave him a lasting name in English newspapers, and his participation in and articles about the River War fight against the Mahdi’s army in Sudan cemented his position as one of the greatest writers in the Empire.įrom that promising start, Churchill transitioned to politics. By “ the English language and sending it into battle,” Churchill was able to save the Western world multiple times from the clutches of tyranny.Īs he matured while a cavalryman in India, Churchill discovered his knack for writing. He was a writer that shaped our view of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a politician that almost singlehandedly started the rearmament process in time to resist the odious Nazi regime, a magnificent speaker who inspired millions and instilled in them the will to fight, and a military mind who, like Flavius Aetius, remained a military genius fighting for his homeland and empire long after that empire had seen its best days. Were Churchill never born, then Victorian England would have lost its last and staunchest defender. Had Churchill not defended the West, we might never have woken up to the threat posed by the Soviet bear. Without Churchill, all of Europe might have remained under the cruel thumb of the Gestapo. That life was one that changed the world. ![]() His decisions, thoughts, eccentric habits, methods of writing and speech preparation are all covered, along with many other aspects of Churchill’s life. ![]() From his youth in Victorian England to his 2nd Prime Ministership during the waning days of the British Empire and early days of the Cold War, Machester paints an incisive picture of Churchill’s life.

I still say the best thing to do is to follow your local leaders direction (stake president) and the direction of the Brethren, and basically look at "Spencer" as a fictional character with an interesting story to tell. Yet, bad things will happen, I just think they will be much different than what "Spencer" says. Remember, the Living Prophet trumps ancient prophets. Over all, I find a rather unhealthy reliance on "Spencer" in this blog, rather than what the LIVING PROPHET's have to say on matters concerning the last days. These folks do not understand priesthood authority and how doctrine is established apparently. ![]() Much of the stuff "Spencer" says is wrong, but people continually defend what he says as the truth. While this blog has a lot of good information, and much that is factually based, I find it disturbing that so much weight is placed on "Spencer", as if he is the Prophet. I don't think the Lord is going to waste all those mostly good people. There must be 2-3 million LDS's on the west coast. I agree with being prepared, not a question for me. Far too much focus on America, Utah, and the west coast. ![]()
