they don’t actually teach shit about Churchill in US schools besides “badass dude who helped us beat the germans cuz he was so stubborn and cool”, really not that surprising
I read entire thick biography of Churchill and none of the worst shit he did was there, it’s completely sanitized to the point the worst accusations against him in that book was that he fucked up the Gallipoli and that he was crass boor (but funny amrite). Author even made him some kind of humanitarian for the perfunctory critique of British atrocities in Sudan he wrote to newspaper as young officer participating in those atrocities.
In the meantime every biography of Stalin is full of phrases like “Bloody tyrant” or “Virtuoso of lies” starting right on the cover.
