i'm a big churchill fan.i've read every book i can get on churchill, but this one is from a different perspective. i really recommend it to people because it's a totally different hook at churchill and different perspective. so i'm enjoying that. i'm right in the middle of that now. and then my book at home, i always are to be reading a spy book. i'm on the intelligence committee. love spy books, so there's a book called "tight rope," it's about a world war ii spy that was airdropped into france to report on the germans and so forth. an absorbing novel. those four, stacking up ideas for the break in august that hopefully i will have more time reading. >> he booktv wants to know what you are reading, tweet of that booktv or facebook.com/booktv. >> del wilber is next on booktv. he discusses his book "a good for murder: the inside story of a homicide squad" which looks at the inner workings of a homicide squad in maryland in prince george's county.

his wife made me promise i wouldn't do a winston churchill imitation. it depends the survival of christian civilization. if the whole world including the united states and he's making sure americans including the united states sinking into the abyss of a new dark age. he roused the people for war and despite desperately depleted war after thforafter the debacle ind france he braced them for the battle that would forever after be known as their finest hour. a little known is that in his conclusion of the speech, he warned that should, or rather he invoked the notion that sugar can fall, because there was no guarantee brick-and-mortar not fall in the face of the impending nazi onslaught, that america would one day come to liberate the old world. the bbc from london and the french general charles de gaulle emphasized the character. i could talk with a french accent now but i think my wife would kill me for that. france is not alone in her darkest hour launching the french national army in exile. he also looked across the atlantic for help. this war hasn't

i remember when william manchester did the serial biography of churchill same thing and i could not wait for that to come out and read it. so there are authors like that. that is kind of fun waiting for that book we are all

how do we perform what churchill and roosevelt want us to do? now, the allies, particularly the americans -- maybe this is an american thing d they want to go the fast course. they wont to bomb it. -- they want to bomb it. just destroy it. from the air. troning stat hears this plan, and he says, no. and he says no for two reasons. one, there are a lot of civilians that live around that area. there's over 5,000 people living there. any bombing operation is going to kill a number of civilians. and, two, this plant is tens and tens of thousands of pounds of concrete, stone, steel, and the heavy water facility is in the basement. .. they send two teams to go into this area by glueder plane. halifax would tow two glider planes across the north sea, release them over the drop site, and go down and land in this countryside. >> he is informing them that we should talk about this and the hard place to land and the hard place to be. i'll give you an idea how little the british knew of this area. this operation was scheduled to happen in likely november of

however, roosevelt and churchill had adopted that in january 1943.onre was a lot of pressure truman to change that demand. in fact, almost everyone -- secretary of war simpson, you go through the list of them, almost all of them supported changing the surrender terms to speed up the end of war. atarishington post had an -- had an editorial calling for this. the only ones who could convince truman not to do that with jimmy burns, and he said people hate the emperor and you will be politically crucified if you let the japanese keep the emperor, so burns prevails on him. burns is a key figure, as i said. in fact, burns -- truman says to appoint youan't secretary of state now, but want you to be my main advisor and as soon as we finish the united nations negotiations, i will point you to secretary of state. and burns does get appointed to secretary of state and july 1945. refused to change the surrender terms, even at the -- potsdam.ots dam 1945,es place in july when truman meets stalin and churchill for the first time in potsdam, germany. again at that

meets stalintruman and churchill for the first time. secretary ofng, war stinson implores truman to change the surrender terms, and truman says to his frail 76-year-old secretary of war that if he didn't like it, he could pack his bags and go home. to theresisted changes terms, even though all the experts around him urged him to do so. the second consideration in terms of ways to end the war was the plan for the soviet union to invade. the united states had been the sovieturging union to join the pacific war for years. stalin kept saying they had to when the war in europe first, and then they could worry about japan. 1945, stalin finally agreed. war would enter the pacific three months after the end of the war in europe. ends in earlyope may, so the soviets would invade manchuria on august 9. new -- knewtates what was going on inside japan. how do you know what is going on inside japan? how do you what the japanese leaders are thinking? we had broken the japanese code and were intercepting their cables. the japanese decide at a meeting

churchill was horrified and roosevelt said something like let's have a compromise.let's shoot 49,500. it didn't go over well with churchill but what's interesting it goes back and forth and eventually stalin and roosevelt decide they do want a trial for different reasons. stalin loved show trials. the 30s he had faked trials but roosevelt really wanted the principle and churchill was aware of the danger of the trap of show trials and he suddenly declassified documents we found out that at one point he was considering a plan to just have summary executions of a few top leaders and some just imprisoned without trial. this went back and forth and eventually the trials happen as we know. nuremberg and so forth and it was imprisoned in but every step of the way was controversial right up to today. >> and what were the reasons they opted to go for the trials? where their particular goals besides holding people accountable? >> aside from holding people accountable and the obvious one that somebody has to be punished for all the horrors there was the educational elements ve

roosevelt had long disliked churchill's cherished british empire. one of his war objectives was to do what he could to see it dismantled after the war was over with. he saw it as exploy tative of -- exploy todaytive of subject peoples and discriminatory in its trade policies. he clearly hoped one affect of the war would be to bring an end to it. inevitable because it left britain an exhausted nation. he pretty clearly understood that britain was a waning power that would be dependent on american aid after the war. his real goal was to strike an understanding with soviet leader josef stalin. here, i think, he did not fully understand either stalin or the totalitarian nature of stalin's ideology. the difference that is between a run-of-the-mill dictator like, say, vargas in brazil with whom he had a long and happy relationship or various central american dictators who were more than willing to follow american leadership, he did not understand that stalin was no vargas. that manager much more -- that something much more difficult and much more sinister

it's a totally different look at churchill so i'm enjoying that. then i am on the intelligence committee and i love spy books. tightrope is about a world war ii spy books to report on german and so forth. so those recent e. have been the books i am stacking up ideas for the break in august to hopefully have more time reading. .. how a jewish wild bill manager hustled the nazis and

churchill also had a great intelligence agency which the the states did not so roosevelt wanted one of them as well. i think dave will talk about some of the. i would like you to welcome tried one and i hope we will have a great session -- welcome david priess. [applause] >> thank you, paul. and thank you to everyone here at the roosevelt library involved with the reading festival. thank you all for coming. i'm learning a bit about our shared history. i'm here to talk about the president's book of secrets, a colloquial term for the daily intelligence that the president has received for decades in various forms. the presidency in the modern era is so different than what it was 200 years ago, but there's a few key inflection points along the way. i'm going to talk about some of those inflection points focusing of both president roosevelt, looking before him, looking after them. it centers around what we take for granted today which is that the president of the united states received top secret intelligence delivered to him personally, tailored to them personally to allow them to dissipat

and churchill single-handedly resisted. the rest of the government was able to do this but churchill was not and he threatened to resign if fdr kept pressing hima they backed and this wouldn't have happened. there was no real momentum and 42 so you could have had power to the unified government you would have had a longer transition then they underestimated the threat of violence. they were sending daily cable saying i need more troops. on paper they were supposed to go to the province but they were not fond of the details. there's supposedly a 50,000 member force that went there and ended up being less than 2,000 people so they were not able to suppress the violence quickly. the only way to stop this would have been a force very quickly. they were responsible for lawnd and order up to that point so there were mistakes made that it's important to take responsibility. it's too easy for people to say it was their fault they did thiy to us. the british were not helpful in some ways but they were not entirely to blame.. >> you'

lynn olson has to do with the rise of a small band of conservatives in the parliament during the churchill. and motivated by i'm a member of the house freedom caucus and we have 40 or 50 great folks were trying to get their country back on track. just represent the people more closely. so i think this book will give me motivation there. the title may not give it away but it's called on civilization by gregory copley. he raked me up for policy one day and did an amazing mind on foreign policy. i learned so much from him but i wanted to read some of his books. his subtitle is urban geopolitics in a time of chaos. maybe it is an unlikely source of grounding for international policy, but his thesis is that some of the uncertainty and instability and chaos that were seen around the globe which were clearly seen is driven by the urban, rural split in our country. and with the growth of the urban cities, little bit more detachment from the jeffersonian yeoman farmer and love of country patriotism, nationalism in the positive sense and that maybe we need a little bigger dose of history and some of

as winston churchill said, when taking office, some 20 years ago, if we open a quarrel between the present and the past, we shall be in danger of losing the future. today our concern must be with that future. for the world is changing. the old era is ending. the old ways will not do. abroad, the balance of power is shifting. there are new and more terrible weapons are coming into use. one third of the world may be free, but one third is the victim of a cruel repression, is affectedr third by poverty and hunger and disease. communist influence has penetrated into asia. it is in the middle east and off the coast of florida. friends have slipped into neutrality, and neutrals into hostility. reminded us, the president who began his career by going to korea ended by standing away from japan. and the future is equally revolutionary. the new deal, a fair deal, bold measures for their generation, but now, this is a new generation. a technological output an explosion of the bomb has led to an output explosion, and the haslation revolution crowded our schools and flooded our cities and cluttered our

. >> winston churchill made a change in his own political party that some men change principles. those of you who are democrats, may i suggest you take the platform franklin delano roosevelt was elected, promised to reduce -- restore rights and powers, unjustly -- think the individuals by the federal government, restoration of constitution limits on power. ask yourself which party would be most at home today. i'm not a politician in the sense of ever having held public office but i think i can lay claim to being a citizen, everything i do for the republican party is a party of limited government, individual freedoms, adherence to the asking. -- constitution. i worked for that party as actively as i can in 1960, '62, and '64. in those campaigns i support all. basic and widely differing philosophies. >> reagan on state television had used eisenhower's advice and some of his exact words when he announced he was seeking the governor ship of california. by the way, the very beginning, the section that's difficult to hear, i'd encourage you to read that address of fdr, franklin rooseve

but churchill was not. he threatened to resign if fdr kept pressing him. so they backed up. if they had intentions then i think there is no real momentum for pakistan in 1942 at all. you could've handed power to unify government. the british would've stay. nobody wanted to kick them on the middle of the on the middle the work. you would had a longer transition. and in addition to leaving too fast, they underestimated the threat of violence. wasn't a surprise. the fourth item the poon job is sending daily cable saying this is happening, any anymore troops, and the more troops. now i'm paper they created a peacekeeping force are supposed to to go to this province. but he wasn't good with details so he was busy drying his legs, this supposedly 50000 member army force that went there ended up being less than 2000 people with actual rivals. so they were they were not able to suppress the violence quickly. the only way to have stopped this would've been a massive application of force very quickly and they did not have the troops in place. that was the british responsibility. they

winston churchill in his history of the english speaking peoples talks about the disappearance of one's rivals. and he writes, that he was murdered by john's orders, was not disputed at the time or afterwards. though whether he was mutilated or blinded beforehand remains unanswered. the barones of england thought they were repressed and misgoverned and they were at the verge of revolt. the compromise that prevented civil war was the magna carta or great charter. it is not a bill of rights as we would understand it today. it is a futile contract between a king and his most important leech lords. it lays out his obligations to them, theirs to him. a lot is very detailed on medieval property questions and forestry law. there's a whole section on how to deal with wales. but there were several points that would later on become items and later english and american rights. one provision said no free man should be taken or imprisoned except for the law full judgment of his peers. freeman means a nobelman not a wealthy commoner. but this does set up the principle of trial by jury. judgment of

kennedy made churchill an honorary american citizen, i think well-deserved. but in the book "the last lion: defender of the realm" churchill says that hitler was outkilling even his teutonic ancestors. and not since the mongols came in the 13th century had europe seen such methodical, merciless butchery on such a monstrous scale. we are in the presence, he concluded, of a crime without a name. i read that and i thought wow, methodical, merciless butchery on such a monstrous scale. we are in the presence of a crime without a name. now i know you are all thinking the same thing i was thinking. that is what we are in right now. methodical, merciless butchery. one million unborn children every year killed by abortion, having their arms torn off as they are dismembered, bleeding to death, as limbs are torn off. being scraped out of the uterus with a metal curette. being vacuumed or suctioned out of the uterus. this is merciless and methodical, except this crime does have a name, and it is abortion. we must do everything we can to stop it. the battle before us is t

but in 2016 obviously it is somewhat chaotic. >> well, as winston churchill's daughter would always say when asked the question "what would winston do in a certain circumstance," she would say -- nobody knows. so i would answer nobody knows. but his general philosophy is a wide political tent. and i have to mention the 11th commandment. 11th commandment, you can read about it, occurred when reagan first ran in the republican primary. and it was decided by the gentleman in charge, another physician, gaylord parkinson, that republicans should not speak ill of each other. unfortunately, that has not continued today. eisenhower had a press conference meeting where he actually wanted to get together all the republican presidential candidates for '68, and similarly ask them if they're not going to say something positive about each other, just to stay quiet. so i feel that eisenhower added to that 11th commandment. and i think both he and reagan would be appalled by how the republican candidates attacked each other when 16, 17 of them were beginning the first of many, many debates. they should

folks, america is a great nation, and america is great because the people are great weh winston churchilling have not journeyed all this way across centuries, across oceans, across mountains, across the prairies because we are made of sugar candy. america is in trouble today not because the people have failed , but because the leaders have failed, and american needs the leaders to match the greatness of the people. [applause] mr. nixon: this great group of americans, the forgotten americans and others, know that the great question americans must answer by their votes in november is this, when we should continue for four more years the policies of the last five years, and this is their answer, and this is my answer to that question. when the strongest nation in the world can be tied down for four years in a war in vietnam with no end in sight, when the richest nation in the world cannot manage its own economy, when a nation with the greatest tradition in the rule of law is plagued by lawlessness, when a country known for quality of opportunity is torn by violence, and when the president of

just count it as a book about churchill and franklin roosevelt, which i've read a couple i want to see what that's all about. >> host: senator dick durbin at the democratic within the u.s. senate and we appreciate your being on booktv. things. -- thanks. >> i was told by several people you should start showing up in d.c. mid-june. this is a big decision of a holdout for most of the end of the term. start showing up in june just to be there. i was in d.c. for every decision day. at that point without monday, june 29th because they had scheduled only decision based on mondays. monday, june 29th will likely wonder what happened. the week of the 22nd i was there on monday and that was the day they announced we will release decisions on thursday and then i also added friday and that was when we all started to say way, friday june 20. that is a somewhat important day for the movement. so we all started to think it will be on friday. that morning i got to the supreme court, took my place in line. i was in the public line with 50 or 60 other people there in the courtroom and the atmosphere tha

churchill resisted and the rest of the government was ready to do this. they threatened to resign if they kept pressing him so they backed off. you could have handed over to the unified government. they underestimated the threat of violence. they were telling them they were sending daily keep saying this was happening. i need more troops. on paper they created a peacekeeping force to go to the province but it wasn't for us with the details. he was busy drawing the flags in and the supposedly 50,000 member army force that went there and ended up being less than 2,000 people with actual rifles so they were not able to suppress the violence quickly. and they didn't have the troops in place and that was the british responsibility for the law and order up until that point so there were mistakes made. it's too easy you go to india today and pakistan today it is far too easy. you don't have any limits. at the time that you spent connecting with our faculty and classrooms so i want to congratulate you and thank you all for coming. best of luck.
