finally winston churchill. the good thing about churchill is that he encouraged out of the box thinking. and he was somebody that did indeed as the movie shows. and the movie simplifies here a little bit. when the letter comes in from the park saying that we need the resources churchill gets it. and he understands how important it is. however. as much as i admire churchill. talking about him being the greatest of the 25th century. in time magazine. we picked the person of the century. we spent five years doing conversations and working on it. and the public events to discuss it. and it came down to four or five people. and if you thought that it was a century of great, you know. political struggles against communism and against naziism. and fashionism. will you have people like franklin roosevelt and winston churchill. and also this is a century of civil rights where women and blacks and colonial people all get their own individual rights. and ghandi. and martin luther king jr. as part of that. and finally. if

in modern times sir winston churchill, general grant general de gaulle, only a few of the storied names the mere mention of which makes our proposition a reasonable case. so then why now the prize? why do we do this? we do this not least because the study of military history has, in fact, been purged from many of the faculties and curriculums of the universities, of the great universities of the western world. now, how did this happen? perhaps it is explicable by some form of political correctness or parochial specialization. or the armchair unrealism of the faculty lounge even ivory tower snub erie among other related social diseases. permit me to say that the military history prize is intended to inspire the serious study of war and of its consequences, the object being its restoration to its rightful position among the historical arts and sciences. such an effort needs no justification. from the emergence of homo sapiens in northeast africa about 75,000 years ago the dna historians and population geneticists now teach us there have been only three perennial institutions of human soci
