Podcasts about Winston Churchill

Charles de Gaulle is one of the greatest figures of twentieth century history. If Sir Winston Churchill was (in the words of Harold Macmillan) the "greatest Englishman In history", then Charles de Gaulle was without a doubt, the greatest Frenchman since Napoleon Bonaparte. Why so? In the early summer of 1940, when France was overrun by German troops, one junior general who had fought in the trenches in Verdun refused to accept defeat. He fled to London, where he took to the radio to address his compatriots back home. “Whatever happens,” he said, “the flame of French resistance must not be extinguished and will not be extinguished.” At that moment, Charles de Gaulle entered history. For the rest of the war, de Gaulle insisted he and his Free French movement were the true embodiment of France. Through sheer force of his personality and the grandeur of his vision of France, he inspired French men and women to risk their lives to resist the Nazi occupation. Usually proud and aloof, but almost always confident in his own leadership, he quarreled violently with Churchill, Roosevelt and many of his own countrymen. Yet they knew they would need his help to rebuild a shattered France. Thanks to de Gaulle, France was recognized as one of the victorious Allies when Germany was finally defeated. Then, as President of the Fifth Republic, he brought France back from the brink of a civil war over the war in Algeria. And, made the difficult decision to end the self-same war. Thereafter he challenged American hegemony, took France out of NATO, and twice vetoed British entry into the European Community in his pursuit of what he called “a certain idea of France.” Julian Jackson, Professor of History at Queen Mary College, University of London, past winner of the Wolfson History Prize and the winner in 2018 of the Paris Book Award for his book on De Gaulle--De Gaulle (Harvard University Press, 2018)--has written a magnificent biography, the first major reconsideration in over twenty years. Drawing on the extensive resources of the recently opened de Gaulle archives, Jackson reveals the conservative roots of de Gaulle's intellectual formation and upbringing, sheds new light on his relationship with Churchill, and shows how de Gaulle confronted riots at home and violent independence movements abroad from the Middle East to Vietnam. No previous biography has so vividly depicted this towering figure whose legacy remains evident in present-day France. In short Professor Jackson has written a superb book, which in every way possible is a glittering ornament in the biographical art. Charles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph. D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

It was one of the most dramatic political upsets in British history. Just weeks after leading Britain to victory in Europe, wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill was defeated in a landslide by Clement Attlee and the Labour Party in the 1945 general election.

Aunque Joseph Stalin tenía fama de paranoico, no cabe duda de que muchos querían su muerte. Mientras las purgas y los asesinatos dejan millones de cadáveres a su paso, los registros muestran que el mayor adversario de Stalin, bajo el signo de la esvástica, lo tenía justo en el punto de mira. Según el testimonio de un asesino, había comandos nazis en Teherán cuando se iba a celebrar una conferencia entre Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt y Winston Churchill. Años más tarde, se recluta a un prisionero de guerra que emprende una arriesgada carrera hacia Moscú. Tras la contienda, las sospechas de Stalin recaen sobre los médicos. Después de tantos intentos fallidos, ¿tuvo éxito el último complot contra su vida? Stalin enferma y muere a los 74 años, ¿se trató de una muerte natural?

Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965) is remembered as one of history's most influential figures. A statesman, wartime leader, and Nobel Prize-winning writer, his impact on the world remains unparalleled. Yet behind his towering legacy lies a lesser-known facet of his life: a profound appreciation for fine timepieces. Churchill's watches were more than instruments—they were companions through pivotal moments in history, each reflecting his personality, relationships, and values.

El discurso de Winston Churchill del 4 de junio de 1940, "Lucharemos en las playas", es un hito de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y de la oratoria política. Pronunciado tras la evacuación de Dunkerque, en un momento de gran peligro, encapsuló la determinación británica de resistir contra la Alemania nazi, incluso si luchaba sola. La frase icónica"Lucharemos en las playas" se convirtió en un símbolo de desafío y unidad, inspirando a generaciones. Su impacto trasciende el contexto de 1940, siendo un recordatorio del poder del liderazgo y la retórica en tiempos decrisis."Crónicas Lunares di Sun" es un podcast cultural presentado por Irving Sun, que abarca una variedad de temas, desde la literatura y análisis de libros hasta discusiones sobre actualidad y personajes históricos.

Bastian Gaerner is a hotelier from Germany with worldwide experience in luxury-brand hotels like Jumeirah, Intercontinental and Kempinski. Working mainly in city and beach destinations during his career, he decided to settle down in the car-free mountain village of Aletsch Arena, at 2000 metres above sea level, in the Valais region of southern Switzerland. He tells host Si Willmore about life on the Aletsch Glacier, longest glacier in the Alps and a UNESCO site, and shares what attracted him to life in the mountains after a career spent solely in huge cities such as Bangkok, Dubai, Baku and Tallinn. He discusses the differences between his life then and his life now, comparing the role of managing a hotel in the car-free Aletsch Arena to doing so in the busy global cities he knows so well.Bastian shares his experiences of life working next to the Matterhorn and the town's involvement in the Grand Tour of Switzerland. And he shares some local secrets and insider tips for things to do in Aletsch Arena, including visiting the only place in Switzerland where you can see the Aletsch Glacier in its entirety - for just 20% of the ticket price of similar destinations. Bastian also mentions Villa Cassel, initiated in 1902 by British financier Ernest Cassel, and the home of Winston Churchill while he wrote his memoir.In the JRNY Podcast, Si Willmore talks with pioneers, trailblazers and thought leaders, who are pushing the envelope in the travel industry.

The last few years have awakened many people to just how much we have been lied to. And this realization is causing many on the Right to reevaluate our understanding of history to see what went wrong. This is leading to some productive discussions…and some other discussions that are becoming quite dark. Today we address three points in history to ask the question “Does the revisionist narrative have a point?” Get ready as we question Winston Churchill's legacy, Franco and the Spanish Civil War and Decolonization and Rhodesia. -----⭐ SPONSOR: Good Ranchers Serve only the best meat this summer for your BBQs and pool parties!

But on the flip side, there are books written who give all credit to the ghost writers… because those ghost writers are literally authors who are ghosts. (Paranormal Prose: Books Written By Ghosts) *** When getting married, it's always best to tell your future spouse everything about yourself – no matter how sordid it might be. For if the news comes out after you've taken your vows, not only might it lead to divorce – but it could also lead to murder! (A Double Murderer Murdered) *** And while we're on the subject of marriage device – it's also never a good idea to cheat on your spouse, not matter how powerful and influential you are in society. That too can lead to brutal murder, very possibly your own, as Harvey Burdell found out. (Bond Street Tragedy) *** There are numerous eerie tales of the supernatural involving ghost brides and haunted wedding dresses. It makes you wonder if you plan on saying “I do”, if you're not also welcoming a residual haunting once “til death do us part” arrives. (Ghostly Bride of America) *** It happened in September of 2022 – hundreds of students all across the country of Mexico just fainted with no warning, while those around them were perfectly fine. Authorities still aren't sure they have found the explanation. (The Case Of Passed Out Pupils) *** Berkely Square is one of the most famous places in London, known for its beautiful garden and upscale living. Winston Churchill once lived here, as did Charles Rolls – cofounder of Rolls-Royce. The location has also been used for works of fiction, such as the television miniseries “Berkeley Square”, and even the home of fictional character Cathy Lane – Patty Lane's “identical cousin” from “The Patty Duke Show” on television. But Berkely Square also has a dark side – a building in the middle of the square, said to contain something not of this earth. (The Indescribable Beast of Berkely Square) *** But first… look out men, if you are approached by a beautiful woman seemingly out of nowhere – remember the saying: “if it's too good to be true, it probably is.” She may be less interested in your looks or money – and more interested in whats on your insides. Literally. We begin there! (Kidney Crooks)ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

durée : 00:58:48 - Les Grandes Traversées - Qu'a fait Churchill dans l'entre-deux-guerres ? Secrétaire d'État aux colonies puis Chancelier de l'Échiquier, l'homme devient politique. Il reste historien, écrit "The World Crisis" et se méfie de l'ombre fasciste qui avance sur l'Europe. Soldat né, Churchill était déjà, durant la Première Guerre mondiale, Premier Lord de l'Amirauté. Après son renvoi faisant suite au désastre des Dardanelles, le militaire s'impose en homme politique durant l'entre-deux-guerres en préparant la défense de l'Angleterre contre la montée du nazisme. Dans cet épisode, la visite des War Rooms de Londres, qui abritaient les états-majors ainsi que le cabinet de guerre du gouvernement britannique durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, anime le récit d'un Churchill chef de guerre, symbole d'espoir avant la victoire. Lui collent à la peau son mauvais caractère, mais surtout son courage, aujourd'hui consacré. L'homme de la plus belle heure "Le Herr Hitler a prétendu qu'il pouvait tordre le cou de l'Angleterre comme le cou d'un poulet". Et Churchill montre son cou, qui est un cou de taureau, comme ça, et dit, "hein, quel cou !" Et puis, il se montre lui-même et il dit, "quel poulet" !" L'écrivain Jean Blot relate la prestance, et les indéniables qualités oratoires de Winston Churchill. Nul doute à ses yeux que l'homme a sauvé l'humanité et marqué les générations qui l'ont côtoyé. "C'est aussi l'homme qui a formulé de la façon la plus belle et la plus définitive ce qu'il a d'ailleurs lui-même, je crois, appelé "their finest hour", c'est-à-dire l'heure la plus belle où vraiment l'espoir de l'humanité s'est trouvé concentré sur cette petite île qu'est l'Angleterre." Belliqueux plutôt que belliciste L'historien et biographe du "vieux lion" François Kersaudy écarte l'idée que Churchill aurait été un va-t-en-guerre : "Churchill, c'est un belliqueux quand la guerre est déclarée, mais ça n'est pas un belliciste. C'est-à-dire que c'est quelqu'un qui va faire de son mieux, avant les deux guerres d'ailleurs, pour éviter que la guerre ne se déclare. Mais alors, une fois qu'elle est déclarée, alors là, il devient effectivement belliqueux." N'étant pas passé par l'état-major faute d'y avoir été accepté, Churchill n'a pas reçu de formation en stratégie militaire. Il prend pourtant les devants et s'improvise stratège, tout en évitant les dérives autoritaires, raconte encore François Kersaudy. "Comme ce n'est pas Staline, comme ce n'est pas Hitler, comme ce n'est pas un dictateur, lorsqu'il a des idées stratégiques un petit peu farfelues ou diplomatiques, du reste, il y a autour de lui des gens dévoués, pondérés, des vrais professionnels, eux, qui le retiennent par les basques et qui lui indiquent assez clairement ce qu'il peut faire et ce qu'il ne peut pas faire."

durée : 00:58:45 - Les Grandes Traversées - Il reçoit le prix Nobel de littérature en 1953, notamment "pour ses brillantes qualités oratoires dans la défense des grandes valeurs de l'humanité". Son épouse, Clémentine, reçoit le prix pour lui. Qui est l'écrivain Churchill ? L'histoire retient de Winston Churchill son rôle de leader politique et militaire, véritable figure de proue de la victoire des Alliés à l'issue de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Pourtant, moins connue du grand public, sa carrière d'écrivain lui a aussi valu le prix Nobel de littérature en 1953. Une récompense qui distingue un grand œuvre porteur "de valeurs humaines". Un style littéraire unique au service de l'histoire et de la politique Churchill était un écrivain talentueux et un orateur engagé, mais aussi un stratège politique. Jean-Claude Zilberstein, éditeur passionné, souligne l'admiration que suscite l'œuvre de Churchill, notamment ses mémoires et ses discours, véritables joyaux d'un style unique, rythmé et puissant. Sa maîtrise de la langue, en anglais comme en français, et son sens aigu de la formule ont marqué durablement la littérature et la politique. Au-delà de l'écriture, il est présenté comme un homme de théâtre capable de captiver ses auditeurs par des discours vibrants, notamment ceux prononcés en 1940 à la Chambre des communes.  Les spécialistes rapprochent l'homme d'État d'écrivains britanniques classiques comme Evelyn Waugh ou P.G. Wodehouse, le plaçant dans une tradition littéraire mêlant humour, conservatisme et finesse stylistique. Son œuvre, marquée par une conscience historique profonde héritée de ses lectures, représente un témoignage précieux sur son époque. Un héritage littéraire et historique durable L'Académie suédoise, en lui décernant le Nobel de littérature, a récompensé non seulement sa maîtrise de l'histoire et de la biographie, mais aussi les "valeurs humaines" de son œuvre et de ses discours. Malgré son absence à la cérémonie, Churchill envoya Lady Clementine, son épouse, prononcer son discours de réception. Encore un signe, s'il en fallait un, que l'homme était partagé entre ses trois grandes passions, " le métier des armes, la politique et l'écriture", résume l'historien François Kersaudy. Ses mémoires furent toutefois le fruit d'un travail collaboratif : des assistants préparaient les premiers brouillons, tandis que l'homme d'État passait de longues heures à peaufiner son style, reconnaissable à ses formules percutantes et son rythme narratif. Avant publication, les écrits de Churchill sont soumis à relecture. Et ils passent ainsi "par tout le monde, par ses anciens collègues, par le Foreign Office, par le ministère de la Guerre, par les services secrets, par le roi, par le gouvernement, par le général Eisenhower" et n'échappent pas à une certaine censure, explique François Kersaudy. Un procédé de bonne guerre et assez commun,"pour éviter les gènes diplomatiques", poursuit l'historien Robert Tombs. Si certains critiques questionnent l'authenticité des ouvrages du "vieux lion" en rappelant le recours aux prête-plume pour leur rédaction, d'autres reconnaissent en Churchill un écrivain puissant, vivant et accessible, aux antipodes d'un Charles de Gaulle à la prose plus austère. Roger Katz, libraire à Londres, témoigne d'ailleurs de l'engouement toujours plus vif pour les livres de Churchill. Ce succès durable témoigne de la place centrale qu'occupe l'homme politique dans la mémoire collective britannique et mondiale.

durée : 00:58:47 - Les Grandes Traversées - Dépressif, alcoolo-tabagique, peintre, amoureux de l'art et des animaux, sir Winston Churchill est un homme qu'il faut découvrir en faisant le tour, notamment en comprenant ce qu'il a fait quand il s'est retiré de la vie politique. À Chartwell, dans l'intimité de la demeure de Winston Churchill, se dévoile l'univers personnel de l'ancien Premier ministre britannique. Passion pour la peinture, lutte contre la dépression et héritage familial tissent le portrait d'un homme aux multiples facettes. Une salle à manger, une toile, une époque La visite commence dans la salle à manger de Chartwell, que Churchill avait aménagée bien avant de s'y installer définitivement. Rien n'est laissé au hasard, et l'on découvre un espace à la fois bourgeois et vivant, utilisé pour le thé plus que pour les repas. C'est aussi là qu'il a peint Bottlescape, un tableau né d'un jeu familial qui consistait en ce que ses enfants rassemblent les bouteilles éparpillées dans la maison. La peinture apparaît comme le reflet d'un moment intime, presque ludique. Un peintre amateur à l'âme tourmentée La peinture de Churchill ne laisse pas indifférent. Jean Blot, écrivain et biographe, compare avec une pointe d'ironie le style de Churchill à celui de Hitler : "un art sentimental de jeunes filles bien élevées", techniquement maîtrisé, mais sans audace. Cette observation ouvre une réflexion plus large : malgré leurs antagonismes politiques, les deux hommes partagent une certaine candeur restée intacte. Winston Churchill peignait pour se libérer, en amateur passionné, exposant même sous pseudonyme en France. Dans les tranchées de la Somme, il s'acharnait à reproduire la couleur exacte des cratères d'obus – un détail qui en dit long sur sa rigueur et sa persévérance. Dans Churchill d'Angleterre, l'écrivain Albert Cohen voyait en cet homme la force du prophète, la qualité du poète révélant à son pays sa grandeur. Un extrait lu à l'antenne rappelle la ferveur avec laquelle Albert Cohen célébrait Winston Churchill, louant sa détermination et sa bonté. Mais Churchill savait aussi manier l'ironie, comme en témoigne une anecdote rapportée par l'un de ses gendres : à la question "qui auriez-vous aimé être ?", Churchill répondit : "Mussolini, parce qu'il a fait fusiller son gendre" – un trait d'humour noir typique de son esprit caustique. Famille, alcool et zones d'ombre La face sombre de Churchill n'est pas éludée. Son alcoolisme – il buvait du matin au soir, mais sans perdre le contrôle – contraste avec le destin tragique de ses enfants : trois sur quatre sont morts des conséquences de leur alcoolisme. Son fils Randolph, malgré un réel courage et une intelligence certaine, ne parvint jamais à sortir de l'ombre paternelle. Quant à Churchill lui-même, il faisait face à des épisodes dépressifs qu'il appelait son "Black dog" : des phases de mélancolie profonde, parfois suicidaires, qui jalonnèrent toute sa vie.

durée : 00:58:38 - Les Grandes Traversées - Winston Churchill occupe une place centrale dans l'imaginaire britannique. Symbole de résistance pour certains, figure controversée pour d'autres, son image évolue au rythme des débats mémoriels et des mutations de la société britannique contemporaine. Des décennies après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'ancien Premier ministre britannique demeure une figure à la fois complexe et fascinante. Son portrait se dessine en nuances : chef de guerre visionnaire, homme ancré dans le XIXe siècle, mythe vivant, voire personnage de roman. Un hommage national devenu universel L'émission s'ouvre sur la solennité de la mémoire française : Winston Churchill y est salué comme un artisan majeur de la libération de la France et de l'Europe. À travers une anecdote touchante, "un télégramme signé Churchill reçu dans un village français en 1949". Le récit montre combien son nom résonne avec un prestige presque sacré. Ce souvenir personnel devient le symbole d'un hommage collectif qui traverse les générations. Un fait troublant est évoqué : certains jeunes doutent de l'existence réelle de ce dernier. Ce décalage générationnel souligne le glissement de l'homme vers la légende. Il devient une figure héroïque, incarnation de la résistance, de l'unité alliée et du soutien à Charles De Gaulle. Cette aura quasi mythologique brouille la frontière entre l'histoire et la fiction, transformant Churchill en icône culturelle presque détachée du réel. "Churchill est à la fois un mythe national et une figure profondément clivante" Winston Churchill, héros incontestable de 1940, est aussi un homme de paradoxes. Visionnaire durant la guerre, il reste profondément marqué par le colonialisme et une nostalgie de l'Empire britannique. Pourtant, il initie des réformes sociales majeures : journée de huit heures, salaire minimum et allocations chômage. Conservateur aux idées tranchées, il est aussi un modernisateur pragmatique. Son portrait historique est tout sauf lisse : c'est celui d'un homme tiraillé entre le XIXe et le XXe siècle. Le philosophe Jean-Claude Monod le souligne : "Churchill est à la fois un mythe national et une figure profondément clivante". Au fil des interventions, se dessine un Churchill plus humain, parfois fantasque. Son élégance étudiée, ses fameux cigares — fumés jusqu'à sept par jour — et son perroquet au langage fleuri sont autant d'éléments qui participent à la construction d'un personnage haut en couleur. Ces détails révèlent un homme profondément attaché aux rituels et à une certaine forme d'aristocratie britannique. Cette dimension intime le rend paradoxalement plus proche, plus accessible. Churchill, vu depuis la France : une mémoire active Si Churchill reste une icône nationale au Royaume-Uni, il semble susciter un intérêt tout particulier en France. À Londres, la bibliothèque de l'Institut français accorde une place plus grande à De Gaulle, mais les Français, eux, continuent de s'interroger avec admiration sur Churchill. Contrairement au général français statufié, Churchill demeure un personnage “vivant” : imparfait, vibrant, incarnant une certaine idée de l'Angleterre.

durée : 00:58:51 - Les Grandes Traversées - Les racines du jeune Winston disent tout. Partons donc au Palais de Blenheim, où la lignée des Marlborough, dont Churchill, a vécu et grandit. Ce château, "un peu notre Versailles", raconte un Churchill aventurier, avec une destinée. Né en 1874 au Palais de Blenheim, en Angleterre, Winston Churchill a grandi près de sa grand-mère, bien plus que de ses parents, comme le voulait l'usage parmi les aristocrates de l'époque. Celui que l'on surnommait "le vieux lion" a raconté ses jeunes années dans un livre publié en 1930, My Early life. En observant cette atmosphère marquée par l'imaginaire de la guerre et des batailles à Blenheim, on comprend que le petit Winston était en vérité un "soldat né". L'écrivain en herbe Le poète franco-britannique Michael Edwards évoque la prévalence des mots dans la jeunesse de Churchill : "Son premier souvenir, c'était une phrase. Il dit qu'à l'âge de quatre ans, lorsqu'il était en Irlande, et que son grand-père, le duc de Marlborough, a inauguré, dévoilé une statue à un grand militaire, il a prononcé un discours, et Churchill pense se rappeler une phrase : 'Et d'une salve cinglante, il fracassa les lignes ennemies.' Je trouve ça très intéressant parce que la phrase est merveilleuse. Il se peut que Churchill l'ait un peu réaménagé, mais la phrase est très puissante, très anglaise et très rythmée. Il avait le sens de la langue et il avait acquis, en quelque sorte, toutes les possibilités de l'anglais. Il connaissait les ressources de l'anglais comme un vrai écrivain." Churchill le comique Une fameuse anecdote racontée par le concerné veut que le jeune Winston ait été tout à fait déconcerté par un cours de latin portant sur la déclinaison du mot "mensa", la "table". Alors que son professeur s'efforçait de lui enseigner le vocatif — "mensa" — en expliquant qu'il s'agissait du cas à employer pour s'adresser à l'objet en question, Churchill répondit malicieusement qu'il ne parlait jamais aux tables... "Ce que j'ai remarqué dans ce livre My Early Life, raconte Michael Edwards, c'est que c'est un grand livre comique. La comédie ne le quitte jamais, qu'il parle de l'armée, qu'il aimait énormément, et où il trouvait beaucoup de glamour dans le sens anglais du mot, beaucoup de panache, de couleurs, etc. Ou qu'il parle de l'école, qu'il parle de ses amis politiciens ou qu'il parle de ses discours, etc. Il y a toujours des traits d'humour." L'officier au panier percé Le jeune Churchill manquait d'argent. Bien que sa famille eût été fortunée, Winston se voyait régulièrement refuser les sommes d'argent qu'il demandait à sa mère, à 20 ans, pour satisfaire les standards de la vie d'officier. L'écrivain Eric Simon raconte : "Il a toujours eu des problèmes d'argent parce que, disons-le, il vivait vraiment au-dessus de ses moyens." Il parvint à se constituer des ressources complémentaires grâce au journalisme : "Il a commencé à avoir une dérogation de son officier supérieur pour qu'il puisse écrire des articles. À l'époque, on lui payait en article 5 pounds (...). 5 pounds, ce serait à peu près aujourd'hui 250 livres de l'article. C'est grâce à la presse qu'il a pu tenir son standing de jeune officier, fréquenter un club, offrir le Champagne et le Porto à ses amis, comme un officier devait vivre." L'écriture se frayait ainsi un chemin dans la vie du jeune homme, avant même la consécration du prix Nobel.

Ugo Savoia"Il corpo di Mussolini"Odissea di un cadavereNeri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.itA fine aprile 1945, dopo i fatti di piazzale Loreto, il corpo dell'ex duce del fascismo viene inumato in un campo anonimo del cimitero di Musocco, a Milano. Esattamente un anno dopo, tre giovani nostalgici lo riesumano e di fatto lo rapiscono: chiedono che lo Stato italiano tributi a Mussolini gli onori che, secondo loro, si merita. La notizia piomba nelle redazioni dei giornali italiani e stranieri come una bomba e la stampa sembra fare a gara a chi la spara più grossa. Il cadavere viene segnalato contemporaneamente in vari luoghi del Paese. C'è chi dà per certo che sia stato prelevato per ordine di Churchill e c'è addirittura chi giura di averlo visto vivo aggirarsi per le italiche contrade. In realtà, da quel momento quei resti mortali vagano tra un convento e l'altro della Lombardia, senza che si sappia dove sono nascosti. Il governo della neonata Repubblica, guidato da Alcide De Gasperi, vuole evitare che il luogo della sepoltura si trasformi in una sorta di tempio di fanatica venerazione. I tre protagonisti del trafugamento, guidati da Domenico Leccisi, trovano l'appoggio di padre Enrico Zucca, superiore del convento dei frati cappuccini di piazza Sant'Angelo, e di padre Alberto Parini, fratello dell'ex podestà di Milano. E mentre il ministro dell'Interno Romita muove anche i servizi segreti per scoprire dove si trova la salma, quel che resta del corpo viaggia ancora, in un'odissea degna di un romanzo, che troverà il suo epilogo oltre dieci anni dopo, nel 1957, nella tomba di famiglia a Predappio.«A dissipare tutte le congetture in corso circa il trafugamento della salma di Mussolini, giunge a proposito un chiarimento: è stata trasportata all'estero molti mesi orsono. Il trafugamento avvenne poco dopo la visita di Winston Churchill al piazzale Loreto e alla tomba dell'ex dittatore fascista…»Lancio dell'agenzia di stampa romana MinosUgo Savoia è stato direttore del Corriere del Veneto, primo responsabile dell'edizione online del Corriere della Sera nel 2000, caporedattore e capocronista del quotidiano di via Solferino.

Un chasse-mouches en queue de lion devenu l'un des symboles les plus marquants du pouvoir de Kamuzu Banda. Médecin formé en Occident, le père de l'indépendance du Malawi cultivait pourtant l'image d'un chef profondément enraciné dans les traditions locales. Un nationaliste culturel assumé, qui n'apparaissait jamais sans cet accessoire singulier - à la fois outil cérémoniel, signe d'autorité et instrument de mise en scène politique.  Il le brandissait partout. Lors des cérémonies officielles, des rassemblements politiques, ou même à sa descente d'avion… Le fouet à queue de lion ne quittait jamais Hastings Kamuzu Banda. À l'image de son costume trois-pièces à l'anglaise ou de son chapeau homburg, porté à la manière d'un Winston Churchill, cet accessoire faisait partie intégrante de sa silhouette présidentielle. Le chercheur Chikondi Chidzanja de l'université de Stellenbosch s'en souvient : « Lorsqu'il se rendait au palais, il était dans une voiture décapotable et agitait son fouet à queue de lion. Pour nous, enfants des écoles, c'était un moment d'excitation. On répétait : “Aujourd'hui, on va voir Kamuzu Banda !” » Mais ce n'était pas un geste improvisé, souligne l'historien John Lwanda : « La main droite partait vers la gauche, puis vers le haut, puis vers la droite… Ce n'était pas un geste lancé au hasard, comme tu ferais lors d'un match de foot ». Le fouet servait aussi à projeter l'image d'un libérateur, explique Chrispin Mphande, enseignant à l'université de Mzuzu : « On l'appelait le Lion du Malawi. Certains allaient jusqu'à le voir comme un Messie, surtout après sa nomination à vie dans les années 1970. Le fouet symbolisait ce pouvoir : celui de l'homme qui a vaincu le colon et libéré le pays ». À lire aussiOù en est le Malawi 60 ans après son indépendance? Un symbole de pouvoir, mais aussi d'identité. Formé aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni, Kamuzu Banda voulait paraître comme un dirigeant enraciné dans les traditions africaines. Chikondi Chidzanja : « Kamuzu, il avait étudié en Occident, mais pour ne pas être perçu comme un étranger, il devait aussi incarner l'Africain. Alors le fouet est devenu le symbole de cet ancrage culturel ». Dès 1962, l'objet apparaît dans ses mains. Il lui aurait été offert par un autre père de l'indépendance, le Kényan Jomo Kenyatta. Mais sous le régime à parti unique de Kamuzu Banda, nul n'était autorisé à le porter, sauf lui. John Lwanda : « On ne pouvait pas se promener avec un fouet en disant qu'on était guérisseur. On se faisait arrêter ». Aujourd'hui encore, l'objet fascine. Il en aurait existé plusieurs : en poils de buffle, de lion ou de cheval... Mais la dernière version est bien connue, affirme l'historien John Lwanda : « Le dernier fouet était une vraie queue de lion, avec un manche en ivoire ». Cette version a été confiée à l'université de médecine qu'il a fondée, la Kamuzu University of Health Sciences. Elle est encore utilisée lors des remises de diplômes. Un enseignant la passe au-dessus des têtes des jeunes médecins, comme pour balayer l'ignorance, et consacrer leur entrée dans le savoir. Une manière de prolonger, dans le rituel universitaire, la portée symbolique d'un objet devenu emblème du pouvoir.

Join us as Ocean House owner and award-winning author Deborah Goodrich Royce moderates a conversation with our featured author, Jim Pierce. About the Author: Jim Pierce is a retired insurance executive. His political roots include family ties to three American Presidents.  “Treachery” is historical fiction about the first eighteen months of America's “War between the States”. The Northern troops were hapless and results amazingly lopsided in the early days of the conflagration. The story develops a theory as to why that may have been the case. "The Beginning" places the reader next to Prime Minister Winston Churchill as he steers England through its darkest hours in 1940 and 1941. This is a story you will not want to miss!

From the very first day he became prime minister, Churchill faced relentless challenges.

At the end of life, what truly matters? In this profound exploration of 2 Peter 1:16-21, we discover that Peter—facing his own mortality—chose not to impart new knowledge but to remind believers of timeless truths they already knew.Against our culture's obsession with novelty and innovation, Peter presents a radical alternative: the gospel never grows old, no matter how familiar it becomes. He recounts his experience on the Mount of Transfiguration, where he witnessed Christ's glory firsthand and heard the voice of God proclaim, "This is my beloved Son." Yet remarkably, Peter suggests that Scripture provides even greater certainty than this supernatural encounter.The sermon unpacks three foundations for unwavering faith: standing on what the apostles' eyes saw, what their lives proved through decades of persecution, and ultimately, the same thing they stood on—God's unchanging Word. As Charles Colson observed about the apostles' testimony: "Twelve of the world's most powerful men couldn't keep a lie going for three weeks during Watergate, yet twelve apostles maintained their testimony for forty years despite torture and death."For those struggling with spiritual doubts or difficulties, this message offers profound comfort. We don't necessarily need new truths to navigate life's challenges—we need to recall the old ones that have sustained generations of believers. Like a lamp shining in darkness, God's Word provides just enough light for our next step.The message concludes with Winston Churchill's remarkable funeral planning. After "Taps" signaled day's end, a second bugler unexpectedly played "Reveille"—time to wake up. While mourners witnessed his life's sunset, Churchill wanted to remind them he was experiencing the dawn of something new.

The cabinet meeting earlier this week really highlighted how the administration is firing on all cylinders. Victor draws comparisons to Winston Churchill, he stood defiant to Hitler and Russia and all of Europe were folding and making deals with the German dictator. Winston was alone in his defiance and when he returned to power, everything changed. President Trump is similar in his defiance and in his return to power has changed our country in just 6 short months. Democrats on the other hand are embracing Socialism, Zohran Mamdani is just the latest whose parents left impoverished countries for a better life in American. Like Mamdani, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris and Rep. Ilhan Omar reflect the pattern of affluent, left-wing, highly educated politicians that succeeded under the safety and rule of law of America; yet seek to destroy and replace the American way of life with a Communist society.

Throughout the 1930s, Winston Churchill warned about Adolf Hitler—even as everyone else thought Hitler was a harmless peacemaker. Understand how the biblical book of Ezekiel foretold the rise of Winston Churchill to save the West.

If ever a politician got a bum rap it's Neville Chamberlain. He has gone down in history as the British prime minster whose policy of appeasement in the 1930s allowed the Nazis to flourish unopposed. He has never been forgiven for ceding part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in the Munich Agreement of September 1938, and for returning home triumphantly declaring “peace for our time”. The very word “appeasement” is now synonymous with him, signifying a craven refusal to stand up to bullies and aggressors. What a contrast to Winston Churchill, the man who took over as prime minister and who has ever since been credited with restoring Britain's backbone. But is the standard verdict on Chamberlain a fair one? After all, memories of the slaughter of the First World War were still fresh in the minds of the British, who were desperate to avoid another conflagration. And anyway what choice did Chamberlain have in 1938? There's a good case for arguing that the delay in hostilities engineered at Munich allowed time for military and air power to be strengthened. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

America is turning 250. And we're throwing a yearlong celebration of the greatest country on Earth. The greatest? Yes. The greatest. We realize that's not a popular thing to say these days. Americans have a way of taking this country for granted: a Gallup poll released earlier this week shows that American pride has reached a new low. And the world at large, which is wealthier and freer than it has ever been in history thanks to American power and largesse, often resents us. We get it. As journalists, we spend most of our time finding problems and exposing them. It's what the job calls for. But if you only focus on the negatives, you get a distorted view of reality. As America hits this milestone birthday, it's worthwhile to take a moment to step back and look closely at where we actually are—and the reality of life in America today compared to other times and places. That reality is pretty spectacular. Could Thomas Jefferson and the men gathered in Philadelphia who wrote down the words that made our world—“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”—ever have imagined what their Declaration of Independence would bring? The Constitution. The end of slavery—and the defeat of Hitler. Astonishing wealth and medical breakthroughs. Silicon Valley. The most powerful military in the world. The moon landing. Hollywood. The Hoover Dam. The Statue of Liberty (a gift from France). Actual liberation (a thing we gave France). Humphrey Bogart and Tom Hanks. Josephine Baker and Beyoncé. Hot dogs. Corn dogs. American Chinese food. American Italian food. The Roosevelts and the Kennedys. The Barrymores and the Fondas. Winston Churchill (his mom was from Brooklyn). The Marshall Plan and Thurgood Marshall. Star Wars. Missile-defense shields. Baseball. Football. The military-industrial complex. Freedom of religion. UFO cults. Television. The internet. The Pill. The Pope. The automobile, the airplane, and AI. Jazz and the blues. The polio vaccine and GLP-1s, the UFC and Dolly Parton. The list goes on because it's really, truly endless. Ours is a country where you can hear 800 languages spoken in Queens, drive two hours and end up among the Amish in Pennsylvania. We are 330 million people, from California to New York Island, gathered together as one. Each of those 330 million will tell you that ours is not a perfect country. But we suspect most of them would agree that their lives would not be possible without it. So for the next 12 months, we're going to toast to our freedoms on the page, on this podcast and in real life. And we're doing it the Free Press way: by delving into all of it—the bad and the good and the great, the strange and the wonderful and the wild. And today—on America's 249th birthday—we're kicking off this yearlong event with none other than Akhil Reed Amar. Akhil has a unique understanding of this country—and our Constitution. Akhil is a Democrat who testified on behalf of Brett Kavanaugh, is a member of The Federalist Society, who is pro-choice but also anti-Roe—and these seeming contradictions make him perfectly suited to answer questions about the political and legal polarization we find ourselves in today. Akhil is a constitutional law professor at Yale and the author of the brilliant book The Words That Made Us: America's Constitutional Conversation, 1760–1840. He also hosts the podcast Amarica's Constitution, and you might recognize his name from his work in The Atlantic. I ask him about the unique history that created our founding document, the state of the country, our political polarization, the American legal system, and what this country means to him.
