We speak with UK academic Dr Kit Kowol about his newly released book, "Blue Jerusalem: British Conservatism, Winston Churchill, and the Second World War"
We discuss among other things:
- Why did British public vote out in a landslide Winston Churchill and the Conservative Party in 1945?
- How might the United Kingdom and the British Empire have been different if the Conservatives had won in 1945?
- Lord Beaverbrook and how his realist views were reflective of a significant part of the Conservative Party
- Other myths about WWII and the early post war period that should be discarded
