>> churchill. the other question is, this economic board of north africa, 1943, you have the military working with american businesses , which sort of is a precursor to what later was the marshall plan. how did they work together? can you tell us a little bit about that? thank you. >> yeah, ok. -- the greathill difficulty churchill has is this -- we need the americans in the war. wii's -- can't possibly win without them. we take them in, and they are going to rob us blind, and we come out second single -- second fiddle. that is the contradiction .hurchill faces in the mediterranean, he still thinks they can outsmart the americans. the british maintain this illusion through the war, we are the clever greeks. we are like the greeks in the ancient. we are smart. we don't have big power necessarily, but we are intelligent. the americans are like the romans. they are kind of stupid. what we've got to do is basically figure out how to manipulate the americans so they do what we want them to do. it is the

winston churchill and john f. kennedy. did in your book quite well, which is talk about how the older man, the brit, influenced the younger american? >> well, sure, everybody knows that joe kennedy had an immense impact on his son, jfd. but churchill was the intellectual godfather of jfk from a very early age. there were people who saw jfk sick in bed at age 15 reading winston churchill's books. so he had a profound impact on his thinking, his view of the world. >> you know, my father, who is a republican and a real nixon guy back in '60 would say, and it stayed with me, he said, when you listen to kennedy, there's a touch of churchill there. >> absolutely. he invoked winston churchill's name quite a bit in the 1960 campaign. when we think of the inaugural address, it is replete with churchillian imagery, the idea of human freedom, that we should stand for freedom in the world. he took on that burden from churchill and it was jfk who carried it through his administration. >> and he would sit in the bathtub listening to rec

a lot of this fits churchill just as well. churchill came to the white house and stayed, just as the man who came to dinner stayed in the play. in the case of the man who came to dinner, when he was finally shooed out of the house because he was so obnoxious, he fell down the stairs and broke his leg and had to be carried back in and they were stuck with him for a long time thereafter. well, churchill state into january at the white house. the food was good. the liquor was good. and he drank a lot of it. it was also at no cost to his majesty's government, so he remained. out --roosevelt frost thrashed out how the war would continue. roosevelt was forced to gear up for war far more than he anticipated he could do at the urging of churchill. churchill was at the white house for the formal lighting of the christmas tree on christmas eve and spoke to a big audience on the grounds of hyde park and then went to congress the day after christmas and spoke to you have to said -- remember his mother was american and his father was engli

at the urging of churchill. and churchill was at the white house for the formal lighting of the christmas tree on christmas eve. and spoke to a big audience in the grounds around hyde park and then went to congress the day after christmas and spoking to congress and said, you have to remember that his mother was american and his father was english. he said, if my father were american and my mother were english instead of the other way around, i might be talking to you here as president. he was not a sheiman. as you can tell. anyway, that book became pearl harbor christmas about the period when franklin roosevelt and wynton churchill met in the white house and talked about the war. well, i thought i was finished with war time christmass. then a fan of my books in new york state wrote to me and said, i know you're a veteran of korea. why haven't you written a book about wartime contemporary at christmas? and he suggested a topic for me to write about. that the marines were embattled when the chinese came down from

i'm not as eloquent as churchill so i'm paraphrasing for you here. churchill says go ahead.daniels says we will, suspecting rightly that the british will not be able to continue to fund a naval building program at the same rate that the united states could fund building program. one of the reasons being because the british gold reserves were now resting in the united states because basically the british had been paying the united states to help keep them in the war before the united states entered the war. and so daniels and churchill have this long back and forth and they walk away with no agreement. so daniels goes back to paris, tells wilson we tried to settle this, we couldn't. and we just need to stick with our naval building program which in a few years assuming the british did not up their naval building program, which daniels did not think that they could do politically or financially, would ultimately give the united states its two ocean navy and the largest navy in the world. so he goes back to the united states. this is 1919. and it turns out that the republicans

i am not as eloquent as churchill. i am paraphrasing for you here.m churchill says, ok. go ahead. daniels says, ok, we will, suspecting rightly that the british will not be able to continue to fund a progra naval-building program at the same rate that the united statee could fund a building program.no one of the reasons being was bes because the british gold reserves were now resting in the united states because, basically, the british had been paying the united states to helr keep them in the war before theg united states entered the war. daniels and churchill have thisn long back-and-forth. they walk away with no agreement. so, daniels goes back to paris,e tells wilson, we tried to settle ssuming this. we couldn't. we just need to stick with our r naval-building program, which, i in a few years, assuming the british did not up their naval-building program, which daniels did not think that they could do politically or financially, would ultimately give the united states its t he wo-ocean navy and the largest navy in the world. so, he goes back to the united states. this is 1919.

sir winston churchill. sir winston was born into a family with a long and distinguished military history. one of his ancestors was the first duke of marlborough. after the duke's spectacular victory over the french at the battle of blenheim in 1704, a grateful english queen granted him this amazing palace. the duke dutifully named it blenheim. it was here in 1874 that winston leonard spencer-churchill was born. today blenheim and its sprawling grounds are open to the public to visit. sir winston grew up to become a war correspondent, a soldier, and eventually a politician. when he became prime minister, england was in its darkest hour. hitler's aggression had triggered world war ii. the germans defeated every european country that stood against them except the british isles. every day, the brave british expected the nazis to invade. more than tanks and soldiers, it was the words of prime minister churchill that the british found most heartening. >> "we shall fight on the beaches. we shall fight on the landi

and so churchill said okay. i'm putting this in my own words. i'm not as eloquent as churchill.o i'm paraphrasing for you here. churchill says okay, go ahead and daniels says okay we will, suspecting rightly that british will not be able to continue to fund a naval building program at the same rate that the united states could fund building program. one of the reasons being because the british gold reserves were now resting in the united states because basically the british had been paying the united states to help them koo keep them in war before the united states intered the war. and so daniels and churchill have this long back and forth and they walk way with no agreement. so daniels goes back to paris, tells wilson, we tried to settle this, we couldn't. and we just need to stick with our naval building program, which in a few years, assuming the british did not up their naval building program, which daniels did not think that they could not do politically or financially, would ultimately give the united states its two-ocean navy and the largest navy in the world. so he goes

>> i organized it along the lines that churchill had done. ideainston and randolph's was chronological history. so we organized -- and i set the gentlemen,were young because in those days, there were only man who was on the staff, from churchill's days, who were researchers recruited from universities who could provide raw research. did in san clemente what randolph did in england, which was to get big looseleaf binders for every day of the subject's jace fromhurchill's 1874 through 1965 -- case from through 1965. once he became to congress and became president, there would be several binders for one year. the pages would be divided into thirds. the first third was what was happening in nixon's life. the second would be what was happening in the country. the third would be what was happening in the world. any day, you could open this binder and find out where he was and what was going on. in the front of my office, there were floor to show -- ceiling bookshelves filled with these binders. i called professor arthur marder, an expert on the bri

when you have two figures like winston churchill and john f.bout why we study history and why people get involved in government. >> you say that jfk grew up reading churchill's history books. >> he did. >> he loved the guy and yet when they came together for their meeting, it was very awkward. why? >> that's in 1958 on a boat with onassis who is flirting with jackie. first time that jackie meets onassis. the meeting with jfk and winston is old and it's a disappointment for jack. >> of course more on that later. let's go back to meetings with this interworking. obviously joe kennedy was on the exact opposite side of winston in 1940 going into the war, but they scratched each other's backs very well. >> that's the big find in my book. as you point out, most of history about the kennedys and churchills were written after world war ii so most people say they hated one another. of course they very much did disagree over the war. but prior to that, they were friendly. they were friendly with people like lord beaver brook and they had a number of diff

>> i organized it along the lines of churchill. not rocket science.inston and randolph's idea was history is chronology. on those days, the only man the staff, but they were researchers essentially. they were recruited from universities to produce wrong research. then, there is an actual book staff. what we did in san clemente, in t randolph had done england -- he got binders, big looseleaf binders for everyday the subject's life. 1913 until , from then, 1974. in some years, when he was four years old, they would be very in the binder. but then when he went to congress, there would be several binders for just one year. into would be divided thirds -- the first third was in nixon's ppening life. the second third would be what was happening in the country. the third third would be what was happening in the world. so, for any day, you can open the binder and find out where he was, and what was going on. in the front of my office, we put floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and the binders filled the bookshelves. called a m irvine -- i the essor who i met in chu

it was complete support. >> this is after he gets support from churchill. all around him, people did not believe he was on the right track and he had such confidence. a bit arrogance. wouldn't you say? >> yes, yes. >> churchill has put alan in charge. >> this is a terrible idea. >> i hate to say it, but yes. >> they are positively poor codebreakers. >> you can't fire them. >> you just said i could. >> i said no such thing. >> go to hell. >> well this is inhuman. even for you. >> popular at school, were you? >> tell us about who he was and what was important, understanding what was going on there? >> i think at this stage, it's before joan clark is brought into the story who is another very humanizing influence in his life. he was an incredibly sensitive child, brought up by foster parents for a large portion of his early life. his father was stunned to discover that his son have a stammer. i can't imagine the difficulty that kids face now. it was not victorian but might as well have been in its attitudes. the idea of him making easy social bonds with his pe

that's what churchill said.ecause serbia they understood that the russians weren't advocating for a larger serbia.ñ< é they didn't want them to have access to the adriatic. the kaiser actually took a pro-serb position. so it's a little bit confusing. in the end, i suppose the assassination in syria, and the wild card, we can't figure out for some reason, no one has really been interested in this half of the afis confession. everybody knows about the first half. in the second half of his confession, he said quite openly, that the russians gave him the green light and that they gave him money. may very well have been conducting a rogue foreign policy. there may have been no support from higher channels in st. n this era, channels in st. than they would be today. they were given more leeway in making policy. hartfig in the balkans, he literally made policy, and more or less created the first balkan war. that's a great question. frankly, i think in the end you'd have to ask the russians. because i just don't know.

that's what churchill said. but serbia, it is curious because serbia, properly understood the russians were not advocating for a larger serbia. they didn't want serbia to have access to the adriatic. they actually agreed on that. the kaiser took the opposite position. the kaiser took a pro-serb position. i suppose the assassination and the wildcard just can't figure out for some reason no one has been interested in this half of the confession. everybody knows about the first half. in the second half of the confession, he said quite openly that the russians gave him the green light and gave him money by which he meant the russian military at cachet, who may have been conducting a rogue foreign policy. there may have been no support from higher channels in st. petersburg. that was often true in this era. diplomats were on a longer leash than today and probably because communications were slower and given more leeway. in the case of the balkans he made policy and created the first balkan war. so it's a great questi

and so we set our book offices up the same way that churchill's book offices were set up. these with through the world crises and the second world war, so i knew how randall set that up. so nixon knew that that could of it -- that experience could have affected it. he asked if i would stay on an organized the research and writing of his memoirs. so that is what i did. this is a picture of my parents who came to visit. this was us in the former western white house office where they met the president. the man to nixon's immediate right is a clean-shaven gannon. he had given an immediate pardon to his mustache. [laughter] >> i wish i had known the things that i know now, and i am just not talking about my hair. but we are going to see a picture shortly, or maybe next, of the staff. we were wonderful people and he was lucky to have us, and he appreciated that. but you would think on august 8, if you had the nixon staff, it would take us to the convention center, and there was 300 of us in the white house and 2500 of us in the executive ranch, but on august 9, this was the west

winston churchill said that it was the most important battle of the war, the most decisive battle of the war of 1812, here. two days later, the british will fight the americans at baltimore. >>> when the naval battle was over and the british withdrew, all that was left were the dead and the wounded and the american forces. out on the navy ships, the wounded were taken off an brought into town, to kent-delord and other homes and treated. the dead were put in a cure taj and brought to the shores, and in a funeral parade led by general mccom and commodore mcdonough, they slowly came here to riverside cemetery just outside of the downtown area. to muffled drums, they marched slowly and deliberately here to the ground. the lead cure taj led the body of commodore dowdy. he's buried here at riverside cemetery. but they were not just royal navy sailors. there were british army dead, american sailors who had died in the conflict, as well as british sailors who had died. 200 of them were taken to crab island, because it was close to where the ships were being refurbished and kept afloat. anoth

winston churchill described him after his death as a high interpreter.also a great friend of the librarian archibald macleish. indeed, after his unlimely death, mcleish accepted on behalf of the library and on the request of his sisters, philip's death mask. on that occasion, lord halifax spoke of his life long association with america and his unshakeable trust in the common sense and judgment of our two peoples. halifax believed that the choice of the library as the permanent resting place of this memorial was, and i quote, symbolic of the community of thought that belongs to those who have inherited free institutions and find in these the expression of their own love of freedom. supreme court judge frankfurt, also a close friend, spoke too of lothian's courage through the dark days of 1940. but it is his own speech at the handover on 28 november 1939, he gave a speech that best conveys his sentiments. he began almost mischievously by asking, why all this trouble, about what he described as a medieval relic. then he gave his answer. the almost self-evid

that ultimately churchill called the iron curtain. we came in on france's side while france was trying to keep in charge of vietnam. the japanese had taken over. here you have the vietnamese. from their point of view, they're fighting a 50-year war versus colonial french. then the japanese came in and threw out the french. then the french came back with our support. and now the french got beat, they got thrown out and we came back. between 1953 and 1964 we had not really dramatically escalated our presence in vietnam. we had supported the southerners who had split their country and refuse to participate in any countrywide elections. i think largely because they knew at least by the late 1950s they would have lost. ho chi minh, the communists had borne the greatest weight in beating the french and fighting back against the japanese and they pretty much had the nationalist cause wrapped around them. they probably would have won a free election. at the same time, they were communists. so free elections are purely utilitarian. they are no
