Yugoslavia broke up, or was broken up, and it’s difficult to see it ever coming together again, except perhaps as a common economic zone. Eventually, the countries will enter the European Union. But, until that happens, political discontent over borders and the shake out of ethnic power will be the norm, for nothing has been really resolved. In the Balkans, people are ‘nations’ and nationalism dies very hard. And, when ethnic-cum-religious conflict takes place, all sides believe they are right.

BECOMING WINSTON CHURCHILL

The Untold Story of Young Winston and His American Mentor

$ 19.00

Announcing the first paperback edition of Becoming Winston Churchill, The Untold Story of Young Winston and His American Mentor

Winston Churchill was only 20 when he met the man whom he credited, more than any other, with shaping him as a statesman and an orator, one whose voice and political courage would save his country and the world during their darkest hour. As Churchill once wrote: “I regard his as the biggest and most original mind I have ever met. When I was a young man, he instantly gained my confidence and I feel that I owe the best things in my life to him.”

That man was Bourke Cockran, a charismatic Irish-born Democratic Congressman from New York City, acclaimed by his peers as the greatest orator in the Gilded Age of politics. Following the death of Winston’s father, Lord Randolph, in 1895, Cockran, who was a widower, became the lover of Churchill’s mother, the beautiful American-born heiress Jennie Jerome, who persuaded Cockran to take her son under his wing.
