Not even Christians can agree on the nature of God, his character, his preferences, principles and will for our lives. We all live in a world that is devoid of consensus about the most important things in life. This is not a conventional book about vision but a vision of how God sees, how he sees the world, our circumstances, society and each one of us and how he intends that we view him, the world around us and ourselves. This first volume of the best-selling biography of the adventurer, aristocrat, soldier, and statesman covers the first 58 years of the remarkable man whose courageous vision guided the destiny of those darkly troubled times and who looms today as one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century.
Yet within a few years, the Empire would hover on the brink of a catastrophic new era. When Winston Churchill was born in Blenheim Palace, Imperial Britain stood at the splendid pinnacle of her power.
The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Visions of Glory, 1874-1932 is the first volume in William Manchester's epic three volume The Last Lion - the best-selling and definitive biography of one of Britain's pre-eminent prime ministers. While every essay explores the relationship between image and word, several contributions focus on the ways in which Civil War images complicate an understanding of canonical writers such as Emerson, Melville, and Whitman. The collection also emphasizes the role that women played in making, disseminating, or interpreting wartime images. A number of essays focus in particular on African American engagements with visual culture. In so doing, this volume assembles contingent and fractured visions of the Civil War, but its differing perspectives also reveal a set of overlapping concerns. The collection proceeds chronologically, providing a nuanced history by highlighting the multiple meanings an assorted group of writers and readers discerned from the same set of circumstances. The essays in this collection reveal how wartime women and men created both written accounts and a visual register to make sense of this pivotal period. The book focuses on a diverse set of images that include a depiction of former slaves whipping their erstwhile overseer distributed by an African American publisher, a census graph published in the New York Times, and a cutout of a child's hand sent by a southern mother to her husband at the front. Visions of Glory brings together twenty-two images and twenty-two brisk essays, each essay connecting an image to the events that unfolded during a particular year of the Civil War.
