  Winston Churchill’s Great...

  Editors Charles River

  When Winston Churchill died at the age of 90 in 1965, one of the most important figures in modern history had left the stage. From providing some of the 20th century’s greatest soundbites to successfully navigating Great Britain to victory in World War II against great odds, Churchill was at the forefront of events for decades, becoming one of the most influential Britons in history. In 2002, he was named the Greatest Briton of All Time, and 40 years earlier he was the first person to be made an Honorary Citizen of the United States. 
  Churchill will forever be most associated with World War II, but his life was far more adventurous and complex than that, and these other aspects of the man are often overlooked and overshadowed. He came from an aristocratic family, but his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was not the firstborn son. That was important because the family estate was entailed, meaning the oldest son inherited the title of duke along with the land and the wealth. Thus, while Churchill grew up in Blenheim Palace, he did not inherit his family’s wealth, and that is one reason he became a correspondent and negotiated high rates of pay: he needed the income. The family’s aristocratic connections greatly facilitated his career, but it was his own courage, determination, and ability that led to his fame and historical importance, along with some phenomenal luck. 
  Before politics, Churchill was an officer in a cavalry regiment and a war correspondent, which took him to conflicts on four continents, and he escaped death more than once. His greatest escape was from a South African prison camp, which made him a national hero and greatly facilitated his election to Parliament.

  My Whirlwind Lives - Navigating...

  Our recent storms didn't start in 2020 or 2016. They started decades ago in the 1960s - a whirlwind of threatened nuclear catastrophe, then police dogs and rednecks terrorizing civil rights marchers down south, then Vietnamese children fleeing from napalm flames. Then draft notices to go to Vietnam to "fight commies." 
  A small town boy started by supporting rightist Goldwater against the "peace candidate" Johnson, but rapidly changed in the face of the civil rights and anti-war movements, and started a quest that hasn't ended yet. 
  This book tells Dee Knight's story of "waking up" to the truth about the US war in Vietnam, then refusing the draft and going to Canada where he lived for six years. It relates the years-long campaign for amnesty, in which Knight was a leader. After war resisters won a partial amnesty, Knight continued campaigning against US wars up to the present day. 
  There are chapters on: 
  The political storms of 1968 
  Exile life in Canada 
  The years-long campaign for universal unconditional amnesty 
  Antiwar veterans and active duty soldiers and sailors, including the sanctuary movement 
  Witnessing Portugal's "Carnation Revolution" of 1975 
  Living and working in Sandinista Nicaragua 
  Socialism and the Green New Deal 
  "Messages from the Future" 
  Reflections on the Pandemic 
  The Battle to Expand and Protect Democracy 
  Appendices on Vietnam's victory in 1975, and on the reality of life and politics in China

  ‘Unseen: The Barefoot Runner’ is the honest and heartfelt story of Pinky Hills’ journey through pain, loss, and healing. In this memoir, Pinky shares her struggles with mental illness, trauma, and grief—things that many people face but few talk about openly. Growing up in a family where emotions were suppressed, Pinky learned to conceal her pain from an early age. Bullied at school and trapped in an unhappy marriage, she faced numerous challenges that tested her strength. Yet, through it all, she found ways to keep going—running barefoot, seeking help, and learning to embrace herself. This book is more than a story of survival. It conveys a message of hope for anyone who feels unseen or alone. Pinky writes with kindness and courage, breaking the silence surrounding mental health and encouraging us all to speak up, listen, and care. If you or someone you know has ever struggled with invisible pain, this memoir offers comfort and understanding. It reminds us that healing is possible, even after the darkest times. Pinky’s journey shows us how to find light again, step by step, and how sharing our stories can foster strength and connection.
