The Churchill Society of South Florida presents An Evening with Lynne Olson |
| Print | |
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 7:00 PM
Location: Ransom Everglades Upper School Auditorium, 3575 Main Highway Coconut Grove, FL
An Evening with Lynne Olson, the award-winning author of Troublesome Young Men: The Rebels Who Brought Churchill to Power and Helped Save England
About our speaker:
A highly regarded reporter, researcher, professor and writer, Lynne Olson is her own kind of rebel: She was the first woman correspondent for the Associated Press in Moscow, in the 1970s. She went on to cover the White House for the Baltimore Sun.
In the 1990s she turned to writing books of important nonfiction, focusing on pivotal moments in the history of the twentieth century. Few such moments were more critical than in England in the 1930s. It was then that Winston Churchill and like-minded "rebels" steadfastly fought Parliament against placating Hitler. In Troublesome Young Men, Olson focuses not only on Churchill's political acumen but also on the moral principles that guided him-the same unwavering beliefs that would soon lead a country.
Admission is free but a $10 contribution in support of the Churchill Society of South Florida's programs will be greatly appreciated.

Saturday, November 21, 2009 - 6:30 PM
The Churchill Society of North Carolina
www.churchillsocietyofnorthcarolina.org
Invites you to the Second Annual Winston Churchill Birthday Banquet
to be held at the Charlotte Country Club
Honoring: Mr. George M. Ivey, Jr.
George Ivey, Jr. has played an unassuming but integral role in the establishment of The Churchill Society of North Carolina. His guiding hand has helped us become one of the strongest chapters of The Churchill Centre and International Churchill Society and fulfill our mission of bringing the Churchill lessons of Leadership, Statesmanship and Courage to a new generation of young people in North Carolina. In cooperation with Dr. Wendell Musser, George shepherded our North Carolina chapter forward through its darkest hours when its very survival was in doubt. We are deeply indebted to Mr. Ivey for his steadfast leadership, valuable insights and unwavering commitment to keep “the record accurate and the memory green.”
It has been sixteen years since the release of Volume One of “The Last Lion,” a projected 3-volume biography of Winston Churchill by William Manchester. Volume Two came five years later. Sadly, Mr. Manchester died in 2004 before completing the final volume of his work. Now at 350,000 words and almost complete, “Defender of the Realm” is expected to be released in 2010. Paul Reid, author of the forthcoming “Defender of the Realm,” will be our featured speaker. In 2004, Paul was appointed by William Manchester to complete this last volume of his triptych on Winston Spencer Churchill. Mr. Reid will preview the forthcoming work and the process involved in preparing this much-anticipated volume.
