Entry: Buchanan & Lukacs--Getting Personal Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/buchanan_lukacs_getting_personal#28593 Post contents: For your information, those interested in Lukac's understanding of Churchill's limitations and failures might wish to read his chapter "His failures, His critics." in Churchill: Visionary. Statesman. Historian. Yale, 2002. It is hardly a work of hagiography but this book overall defends the author's assertion of Churchill's greatness. This work, as well as others by Lukacs argue for the essential wisdom of Churchill's decision to carry on the war in 1940 and address why the at times attractive arguments of Irving, Charmley, and now Buchanan are wrong.
