SUMMARY:“A Spacious\, Delectable Land”: Winston Churchill in California
DESCRIPTION:Winston Churchill was one of the greatest statesmen of modern t
 imes\, renowned for leading Britain and the world in the darkest hours of t
 he Second World War. He was also an inveterate traveler\, journeying from t
 he mountains of northwest India to the plains of South Africa\, across Brit
 ain and Europe and through the deserts of Morocco and the Middle East.\\n\\
 nChurchill was half-American and his sixteen visits to what he called the �
 ��Great Republic” were of paramount importance to his life. The months he
  spent in Washington were critical to his collaboration with several Presid
 ents and to building the “Special Relationship”\, which became the bedr
 ock of 20th century British policy.\\n\\nLess known\, but equally fascinati
 ng were the three weeks Churchill spent in California in September 1929\, w
 here he roamed the state from the redwood country to Catalina Island\, tour
 ing San Francisco and Los Angeles and meeting the most prominent figures in
  California business\, entertainment\, and society. His insightful observat
 ions on the Golden State and his colorful and idyllic description of its pe
 ople and places were recorded in a series of newspaper articles thatb capti
 vated readers in the U.K. To Churchill\, California was “a spacious\, del
 ectable land”\, Los Angeles a “gay and happy city\,” and the studios 
 of the new Hollywood\, “a strange and amusing world.”\\n\\nWhy did Chur
 chill travel 7\,000 miles to be in California\, who did he meet and what di
 d he see on this unusual visit? And how did those experiences influence his
  view of America and its place in the world?\\n\\nFor answers to these fasc
 inating questions and to learn more about Winston Churchill’s only visit 
 to California\, join us in welcoming acclaimed historian Lee Pollock\, Dire
 ctor and Senior Advisor to the Board\, The International Churchill Society.
