He had not obtained supreme political power with any attention of sharing any of it. He kept the king supplied and was impressed by his thorough mastery of them. They were information only. From the outset, churchhill paid great. He deferred to his chiefs of sta. In the latest stages, he found it increasingly difficult to give that way. As in transit over the appointments of Beaver Brooklyn have signaled had never changed on the policy, policy or personnel to behave yourself.

And he offered churchhill the guarder when you turn it down. The order of the boot. On church hills final return to power, the king was delighted to see him back as he had been dismayed when he first showed up in 1940, back in 1940. Winstons report to the throne. He invested with a certain missteek so he always spoke of the royal house with touching records and never many r so in that eloquent broadcast on the deaths of king fast.

Im sure you must know on churchills very interesting introduction forward to my early life, thank you. Its a hugely important book, because its terribly selfrevealing, funny and beautifully written. It was written in 1929 when the world was about to go in ruin again. Of course, as you all remember, it all begins with that wonderful sentence, i married and lived happy ever after.

[ applause ] thank you. Our next speaker and i accidently sat next to each other at lunch and discovered we have something in common. Were both fast eaters. We also found that we shared a common passion for history. Im very pleased to introduce Candice Mallard to you today. Im a longtime fan of her work. I think what distinguishes her work from the work of other popular historians is her rare ability to engender suspense, despite the readers foreknowledge of the outcome. I speak from experience. When i read her first book, the river of doubt, i spent a lot of time worrying about how Teddy Roosevelt would get out of that brazilian jungle, even though i knew he would. I was listening to the book as i was driving the washington beltway, so it was always a race to see who would get to the exit first, teddy or me. I kept hoping that james a. Garfield would somehow survive the ineptitude of his doctors, even though i knew he would. Im well into her latest book, hero of the empire, the boro war, daring escape and the making of Winston Churchill. And i can tell you im very on the edge of my seat, wondering if Winston Churchill is going to make it out of south africa alive. If my remarks sound more like a fan letter than a formal introduction, complete with a listing of all of her awards and achievements, which there are many, thats because it is. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce to you Candice Mallard. [ applause ] thank you very much. Im so sorry. Sorry about that. So thank you, first of all, mary jo for that intro duduction. I wanted to say thank you to lee pollock, who has been a tremendous help to me, a source of encouragement and incredibly gracious and generous over the past five years while ive been working on this book. Its a tremendous honor to be here, very humbling to have a chance to meet some renowned historians, some of my personal heroes, including especially sir david cannondyne. Hes a very difficult act to follow, but i will try my best. As i sat in this room last night, having a beautiful dinner, great conversation, i suddenly realized that i had been here before, but it was for a very different event. I was here for a memorial for two coworkers from National Geographic just across the street, who had been killed just a few days earlier on 9 11. They had been on the plane that had been flown into the pentagon. And i remember feeling at the time, as so many people did, that what we needed as a nation, as a world, was someone who cannot only lead us but someone who understood history and who understood the power of words, and could harness those words. What we needed was someone who could stir our hearts. What we needed in essence was a Winston Churchill. But as we all know there was and will always be only one Winston Churchill. So as you might imagine, it was incredibly daunting to me years later to attempt to write about him, to understand even a small part of his life. But i have to say the more i studied him, especially his years in south africa, the more fascinated i became, and i was hooked. And like so many other writers and historians before and after me, i found him absolutely irresistible. But i think that when most of us think of Winston Churchill, we think of the man during world war ii. He has become virtually a synonym for great leadership. He was, as we all know, a master politician, a savior of his country during world war ii, winner of the nobel prize for literature, and one of the most famous human beings in history. But the problem with trying to understand a leader at the height of his career is that we often end up talking about the results of that persons character instead of the forces that created it. What i am trying to understand is where that man came from. What gave him the courage, the insight, and the will to become such a towering figure . So today, im going to talk about a young man. Hes just 24 years old. He has just left the military. The only job hes ever had, the only job for which hes been trained, he has no money. Hes already tried to run for office but lost. He is like so many other children of privilege, then and now, who amount to nothing. So how do we connect this young man to the legend he later became . What made the Winston Churchill we all know . How did he become one of the most powerful and effective leaders mankind has ever produced . I believe that an important part of the answer lies in an exceptional series of events, which took place in 1899 when young Winston Churchill went to the bora war in south africa. Chim didnt play on this story, and he couldnt have predicted it. But in every sense, he
