[ applause ] >> ladies and gentlemen, it's a great honor to be invited to address you and thank you very much indeed, catherine, for those very kind words. this morning when we started this morning, david freeman acquainted this conference to an opera. and the only thing i know about opera is that it ain't over till the fat woman sings. i think that's a really rather rude thing to say about me. one of the things that makes me proud to be a historian is despite the pit falls of my trade, which can be summed up as penniery, peddenitary, and pundititary. the greatest man in history also chose it as his. more than anything other than a statesman and a soldier, he thought of himself as a historian and moreover thought of his roles as statesman and politician almos

forester's splendid novel, captain hornblower, set in the napoleonic wars. one of the only non-fiction books he read during the war. time and again, he would quote from nelson's tre fall ga memorandum, no captain can do wrong if he places it alongside the ship of the enemy. september 1941, the king offered churchill the lord wardenship of the ports, he accepted, despite being daunted by the cost of the castle's upkeep, largely because of its tremendous connection to pitt and wellington and forester. when he heard about pearl harbor two months later his first thought was we should not be wiped out. our history would not come to an end. at the end of an audience with king farouq, the 7th of august, 1943, the king stood by a big map of north africa and put his hand over a country stating it had once belonged to egypt. churchill was not going to let him get away with that and at once replied he could not remember when, to the best of his belief, it had belonged to turkey before the italians took it. according to the british ambassador, this, quote, rather stumpe

he was referring to a botched effort during the napoleonic wars. it's instructive that the knowledge was so deep in the history of the cabinet winston could assume they would not only understand the reference but pick up on it. in today's cabinet there were literally only two members who on earth would know what you are talking about. of course today we know that the british empire in uppia was evil and wrong because we are constantly taught that in our schools and universities and by the bbc. poor, poor winston churchill in his ignorance could not have known that britain was viciously exploiting india and giving absolutely nothing back to her. well except i suppose for internal peace for the first time in indian history as well as railways and the massive irrigation projects, obviously, and political unity of the subcontinent. they had never had that before. mass education i suppose has to be mentioned. newspapers, unprecedented amounts of international trade. standardized units of exchange. bridges. obviously, universities, and roads, and aqueduc

and you saw that bust of napoleon in jefferson's monticello, recall in the parlor there. and what was the rallying cry of that revolution that napoleon claimed to be protecting and vindicating? you may also know the story of his coronation in notre dame, right? he was so anxious to get that crown he couldn't even wait, he actually took it out of the hands and placed it on his own head, he was so anxious to become a kind of modern-day emperor for france. so much, right, for revolution and the people. during that french revolution in which adams doubted that the french could sustain a successful revolution, word came that there had been a massacre of catholic priests during the terror. some 200 of them were set afire on barges in the middle of the seine. they were given the exquisite choice of drowning or burning to death. after of learning of this, adams said, i know not what to make of this nation of 30 million atheists. what he means by that is i don't know how you can have a successful republic, a successful government, based on the people and their will, without some k

now, the young napoleon worried about a confederate counterattack that could thrive him from the field. not until franklin's six core begin to arrive did mcclellan order burnside to attack. but burnside's mission in mcclellan's mind had it now changed. no longer what it inside's attack be in support of the assignment, but, his became a sort of forlorn hope to keep me from following up his advantages. wonder, then that mcclellan withheld the authority from his infantry reserves and his calvary from burnside's afternoon advance. the ninth core had become a sacrificial lamb to prevent lee from launching a massive counterattack elsewhere. had mcclellan given burnside infantry support or size, ray, to protect burnside's frank -- flank, this would not have been the game changer. mcclellan would write to reports after the battle of antietam. in his after action report, written october 15, 1862, he wrote, "burnside core was interested with a difficult task of carrying the bridge and assaulting the enemy's right. the order, having been communicated at 10:00 a.m.. but, on august 4, 1863, mcclell

that is true since the days of napoleon. they have all failed. now the west has found such great strength in its diversity. i learned something about watching your film. and i think winston would have said, as did he in your film last night, do not trust establishments. trust the people. i don't you all to expect to agree with that. i ask you to think about it at least. we have so many reasons to be optimistic if only we could raise our eyes from our shoelaces. remember just how good we are. remember the berlin wall how it was pulled down. it was pulled down by the bare hands of millions of ordinary men and women. i wanted to be part of us to share what we have. and, yes, economic advantages but so much more than that. it is freedoms, values and our dreams. i started with winston's beautiful eulogy to his predecessor about chamberlain's flickering lamp. he went on to say. this words that i think are as relevant today as they ever were. the only guide to a man is his conscience. the only shield his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his acti

or bureaucracy to bring about one system in europe and that has been true ever since the days of napoleon. and they have all failed. now the west has found such great strength in its diversity, not in its uniformity. so what side of the brexit issue would winston have taken? well, according to joe -- i watched it very closely. you talked about learning something from making your film. i learned something about watching your film. and i think winston would have said, as he did in your film don't trust establishments, don't trust elites. trust it people. take a trip on the train. as he did. i don't expect you all to agree with that but i would ask you to think about it at least. you know we have so many reasons to be optimistic, if only we could raise our eyes from our shoe laces and remember just how good we are. remember the berlin wall. how it was pulled down. it wasn't destroyed by military might. it was pulled down by the bare hands of millions of ordinary men and women who wanted to be part of us, to share with us what we have and yes, economic advantages but it was so much more than

now, the young napoleon worried about a confederate counterattack that could drive him from the field. not until franklin's six core begin to arrive did mcclellan order burnside to attack. burnside's mission that mcclellan declined had now changed. no longer was his attack in support of the major offensive on the right, but the assignment "became a sort of forlorn hope to keep leave from following up his advantage. no wonder then that mcclellan was held for his infantry reserves and all the calvary from burnside afternoon advance. the ninth corps has become something of a sacrificial lamb to prevent leave from launching a massive counterattack elsewhere. supportellan's infantry or sign calvary to protect his flank, his appearance would not of been a game changer that it proved to be. mcclellan right two reports after the battle of antietam. the after action report written on october 15, 1862, he wrote "that burnside's morals are trusted with the difficult task of carrying the bridge and assaulting the enemies right. the order having been communicated to him at 10:00 a.m. " on august 4

that famous -- [inaudible] said, my lord, napoleon, napoleon may invade britain, but he will not comeby sea. which means he can't come at all. and downing and people in the raf said they cannot defeat us. they almost did, but they cannot defeat us for a variety of reasons we can get into later. they cannot come by sea. and then churchill said two things. it's inevitable they would turn on russia given the ideology and logic of "mein kampf", they would do that to isolate britain, and that would be unsuccessful. blitzkrieg would not offer a landscape of 1600 miles, and leaving late in the year because of the rain, late in the spring, and having to preclude the operations because of the snow. nobody had ever done it. churchill was a historian. he thought inevitably the united states would come in, especially if hitler invaded the soviet union, we would see a global war. i don't think you when you start a war, you start a war with the idea that i cannot hit my enemy's homeland, i cannot destroy its industry, i cannot stop its air force, and that's exactly what hitler did to britain. so --

they were wiped out, napoleon vanished. then they're going to come finish us off even though the numbers are strong and they'll win. in case you think i'm overstating the fact that our future was in the balance, they certainly would have held onto the area for another 50 years like they did hong kong or 100. here's what the foreign secretary said. i expect at this moment that most of the largest seaport towns of america are laid to ashes -- kind of true -- that we are in possession of new orleans -- not true -- and have command of the mississippi valley and lakes and the americans are now little better than prisoners in their own country. not only did they want revenge, this whole thing we did called democracy and freedom and having elections, not great if you're a dictator or a king or a queen. especially if it works and it's fun. we're a mag knelt. they know -- magnet. they know they're on the clock if this workings. and when washington gave up power and we showed it works and then we continued to expand, they wanted to s
