Study on 3: Personality and Power: 7: Churchill

on BBC Radio 3

Eight programmes on 20th-century leaders.

Had it not been for the Second World War, Churchill would probably never have achieved supreme office in British politics. What were the factors which for so many years prevented a man of his enormous talents from reaching the top? Introduced by Robert Blake, Provost of the Queen's College, Oxford.
Those taking part include: Lord Citrine, Sir Harry Verney, Lord Boothby, Sir Oswald Mosley, Mrs C. F. G. Masterman and the voice of Winston Churchill.
