Hillsdale College President and Churchill Scholar Teaches Free Course about the Greatest Briton

CourseBanner ChurchillStatesman Public1

Hillsdale College in Michigan opened registration for a new, free, not-for-credit, online course, “Winston Churchill and Statesmanship.” The six-week course, taught by Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn, examines the life, lessons and legacy of Sir Winston Churchill.

Winston S. Churchill was the greatest statesman of the twentieth century, and one of the greatest in all of history. From a young age Churchill understood the unique dangers of modern warfare and he worked to respond to them. Though best known for his leadership during the Second World War, he was also a great defender of constitutionalism. A close study of Churchill’s words and deeds offers timeless lessons about the virtues, especially prudence, required for great statesmanship.

Dr. Arnn is now the Editor of the Document Volumes of the Official Biography of Sir Winston S. Churchill, which are published by Hillsdale College Press. Dr. Arnn worked as a research assistant for Official Biographer Sir Martin Gilbert in the 1970s and assumed responsibility for compiling the remaining Document Volumes after Sir Martin passed away earlier this year. The most recent volume, 1943: One Continent Redeemed, has just been published.
