Churchill and the Jews

"Churchill was a persistent opponent of anti-Semitism, warning both his mother, and two of his closest friends, against anti-Semitic utterances. In 1946 he told the House of Commons: 'I am against preventing Jews from doing anything which other people are allowed to do.' He felt an affinity with the Jewish struggle; both to survive and to attain statehood. And that affinity informed his politics in all sorts of ways." "Drawing on a lifetime's study as Churchill's official biographer, Martin Gilbert now explores a fascinating new aspect of the life and work of this greatest of Britons, following Churchill's sometimes troubled but always strong relationship with the Jews during more than fifty years and shedding new light on his thoughts and decisions."--BOOK JACKET.
