The untold legacy of Winston Churchill and the British Empire | Tariq Ali
Manage episode 418536370 series 3438634
Winston Churchill is one of the most biographed figures in modern history, and held up as an orator and wartime strategist that turned the tide against Hitler and Nazi Germany.
But how accurate is this image? And is it hiding a darker reality?
This week on The Big Picture, we sit down with British-Pakistani writer, political activist and public intellectual Tariq Ali.
Ali published his own biography, titled ‘Winston Churchill: His Times, His Crimes’. In it, he paints a different portrait - one of a self-obsessed, ruthless and deeply racist colonial leader, who lost little sleep over his crushing attempts to maintain Britain’s rule.
In particular, his actions in Ireland, Kenya and Bangladesh led to some of the most horrific atrocities of the 20th Century.
