Two Heroic World Leaders Diverge over the Fate of Civilization in this Deluxe
World War II History Enrichment Bundle Edition, Destiny Challenged.
“We ought to rejoice at the responsibilities with which destiny has honored us, and be proud that we are guardians of our country in an age when her life is at stake.”
– Winston S. Churchill
Arms and the Covenant, published in the United States as
While England Slept; a Survey of World Affairs, 1932–1938. The book is a powerful collection of his speeches warning that England was not at all prepared for the inevitability of war with Germany.
Churchill emphasized the United Kingdom’s lack of military preparation to face the threat of Nazi Germany’s Anschluss and expansion, and argued against the appeasement policies of the British government, led by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who said “Peace for our time.” The book spurred many English citizens to oppose the dovish philosophy of the Munich Agreement, and in doing so, Churchill singlehandedly changed the course of history.
Churchill was right and England did declare war on Germany. In 1940, Chamberlain resigned as Prime Minister, replaced by Churchill. His speeches and radio broadcasts helped cement British morale, leading to England and the Allied forces ultimate victory over Nazi Germany.
In 1940, future President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, who was a senior at Harvard University, wrote his dissertation, criticizing Churchill’s harsh blame of England’s leaders, even drawing comparisons between England and the United States for its own similar lack of preparedness against the totalitarian Nazi regime.
Responding to the title
While England Slept, Kennedy titled his book,

“Every country makes great errors, and there is usually a good reason for it at the time.” – John F. Kennedy
