{"product_id":"2940170575565","title":"Churchill's Empire: The World That Made Him and the World He Made","description":"A charmer and a bully, Winston Churchill was driven by a belief that the English were a superior race whose goals went beyond individual interests to offer an enduring good to the entire world. No better example exists than Churchill's resolve to stand alone against a more powerful Hitler in 1940 while the world's democracies fell to their knees. But there is also the Churchill who frequently inveighed against human rights, nationalism, and constitutional progress-the imperialist who could celebrate racism and believed India was unsuited to democracy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on newly released documents and an uncanny ability to separate the facts from the overblown reputation (by mid-career Churchill had become a global brand), Richard Toye provides the first comprehensive analysis of Churchill's relationship with the empire. Instead of locating Churchill's position on a simple left\/right spectrum, Toye demonstrates how the statesman evolved and challenges the listener to understand his need to reconcile the demands of conscience with those of political conformity.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179408998640,"sku":"2940170575565","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170575565_p0.jpg?v=1763713108","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170575565","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
