The result is a groundbreaking exploration of how narratives about Churchill have been shaped, perpetuated, and contested across generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe Churchill Myth from 1940 to the Present Day\u003c\/i\u003e not only follows the Churchill myth's historical trail, but also situates it within broader debates about nationalism, postcolonialism, and Western identity. The book argues that the Churchill myth is deeply interwoven with the heroic narrative of the West, serving as a lens through which societies grapple with questions of leadership, resilience, and democracy. Using a wealth of sources, the analysis draws widely upon the holdings of the Churchill Archives Centre in Cambridge, published sources, political speeches, films, and social media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBenjamin Hasselhorn\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Modern History at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg, Germany.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350635470\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e288\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51331294494860,"sku":"9781350635470","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350635470","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
