Winston Churchill confronted Communism, Fascism, and Islamist Fundamentalism during his tenure as colonial secretary, shaping modern democracy and his own political journey. The current battle between superstitious and prejudiced forces from the past, against more enlightened modern ones, began when Winston Churchill was appointed colonial secretary in 1920. With the defeat of the shadowy Turkish Empire in 1918 by the Allies, he was challenged by three grim forces of menace and coercion: Communism, Fascism, and Islamist Fundamentalism. Each aimed to extinguish every spark of democratic freedom across the Middle East and the West. Churchill's Challenges describes how this led to subversives undermining democracy from within and without. This book combines a social and cultural history of 1918-1940 with a biography of Churchill, to reveal how he responded to his society at that time, and his impact on it. His own character transformed just as dramatically from the eager and ambitious youth to the shrewd and successful politician he became. This account of the first half of Winston Churchill's life focuses on how the world developed as a consequence of his influence in each ministerial position he filled. His decisions still impact world politics today. This book's release coincides with the 150th anniversary of Churchill's birth.
