How similar and different were Winston Churchill and McKenzie King? Lecture at Central Library on book about these two man.

By Staff

BURLINGTON, ON  January 8, 21013  Terry Reardon, historian and former Director of The International Churchill Society of Canada, introduces his bracing chronicle of the collaboration of two celebrated and very complex heads of state. Winston Churchill and McKenzie King.

For Churchillians – this is a must not miss event.

While Canada is still not appreciated as the major player it was in conferences and on the battle fields of WWII – research is bringing to light the role we did play. Prime Minister McKenzie King was a part of two very significant conferences involving US president Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Terry Reardon will talk about the personalities of Churchill and King at the Central Library.

With scholarly rigour and insight, Terry Reardon traces the intriguing similarities and the startling divergences in the background and prior achievements of both men, examining their alliance in riveting detail through the war years and after.

Terry Reardon speaks at the next Engaging Ideas lecture and discussion event, presented by A Different Drummer Books in partnership with Burlington Public Library, on Monday, January 21 at 7pm in Centennial Hall, Burlington Central Library.

Tickets are $10, available at the bookstore and at the third floor Information Desk at the Library.  This should prove to be a very popular event; To reserve seats, please contact us at (905) 639 0925 or diffdrum@mac.com.

    – George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill:
    “I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of
    my new play; bring a friend, if you have one.”

    – Winston Churchill, in response.
    “Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second ….
    if there is one.”
