OBLIVION OR GLORY: 1921 AND THE MAKING OF WINSTON CHURCHILL

Book ID/图书代码： 00530019C00202

English Summary/英文概要： After the tragic consequences of his involvement in the catastrophic Dardanelles Campaign of World War I, Churchill’s political career seemed over. He was widely regarded as little more than a bombastic and unpredictable buccaneer until, in 1921, an unexpected inheritance heralded a series of events that laid the foundations for his future success.

Renowned Churchill scholar David Stafford delves into the statesman’s life in 1921, the year in which his political career revived. From his political negotiations in the Anglo-Irish treaty that created the Irish Free State to his tumultuous relationship with his "wild cousin" Clare Sheridan, sculptor of Lenin and subject of an MI5 investigation, this broad account explores the nuances of Churchill’s private and public lives. This is an engaging portrait of this overlooked yet pivotal year in the great man’s life.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在第一次世界大战期间，丘吉尔卷入了达达尼尔海峡战役，造成了一系列悲惨的后果。此后，他的政治生涯似乎结束了。人们普遍认为他不过是个夸夸其谈、捉摸不定的海盗罢了，直到1921年，一笔意外的遗产预示了一系列事件，为他未来的成功奠定了基础。

著名的丘吉尔学者大卫·斯塔福德深入研究了这位政治家在1921年的生活，在那一年，他的政治生涯复苏了。从他与创建爱尔兰自由州的英爱条约的政治谈判，到他与列宁雕像雕刻家、军情五处调查对象、“野蛮的堂兄”克莱尔·谢里丹(Clare Sheridan)之间混乱的关系，这篇广泛的报道探索了丘吉尔私人生活和公共生活的细微差别。这是一幅引人入胜的肖像，描绘了这位伟人一生中被忽视但却至关重要的一年。（WYL）

"In 1921 Winston Churchill triumphed over political disaster and personal tragedy. He re-shaped the Middle East, pursued peace in Ireland, and "laid the foundations of his future glory." Stafford has had the brilliant idea of focussing on this single, crucial year and he sheds dazzling new light on both the man and the epoch.
