Churchill and Australia

It looks an interesting book and one to buy if they ever translate it and turn it the right-way up for us here in England. The Guardian article* is perhaps more harsh on Churchill than the book, which Paul Keating gives rather a good speech about here.

* There are some good comments. One noting that if the Australians didn't like him, there were people in other Empire countries that thought even less. But my favourite is 'Did FDR go to Hiroshima?'. That's either clever or stupid, but I can't tell which.
