CHURCHILL & ORWELL

by Thomas Ricks, “Subtitled The Fight for Freedom” the Pulitzer Prize winning title is a dual biography of the two key minds of the 20th century. Both came close to death in the mid1930s – Orwell shot in the neck on the trenches in the Spanish Civil War. Churchill was struck by a car in New York City. At the time neither had been seen as major personalities. Yet both

Churchill and Orwell had the foresight to see clearly that the issue was human freedom, that the challenges of the totalitarian menace of Communism and Facism would deny us basic freedoms and had to be resisted.
