SYNOPSIS: In the spring of 1940, in the first minutes of Britain's finest hour, certain members of the Cabinet, realizing how essential the new Prime Minister had become, called in Sir Charles Wilson, President of the Royal College of Physicians, soon to become Lord Moran, to take charge of Winston Churchill's health. Sir Charles, calling at noon, found the Prime Minister in bed reading a document. After a while Churchill, "throwing back the bed-clothes, said abruptly: 'I suffer from dyspepsia, and this is the treatment.' With that he proceeded to demonstrate some breathing exercises." That evening, Sir Charles wrote in his diary, "I do not like the job, and I do not think the arrangement can last." It lasted for a quarter of a century. Wherever the Prime Minister went during the war years, Lord Moran was with him. The first trip was to visit the fleet at Scapa Flow at the northern tip of Scotland, in the dead of winter. Sir Charles, given no time to pack, set out in a greatcoat with a broad astrakhan collar, lent to him by the Prime Minister. It was January of 1941, and a low moment in the fortunes of Britain. Harry Hopkins, Mr. Roosevelt's roving representative, was a Scapa and brought tears to Mr. Churchill's eyes as he committed the United States to the support of England. A year before Pearl Harbor, Hopkins quoted to the Prime Minister Ruth's great pledge: "Whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God-even to the end." "To us," writes Lord Moran, "it was like a rope thrown to a drowning man.' On the next trip, it was the Prime Minister who committed all that his country had to the new ally, staggered by the blow of Pearl Harbor. Lord Moran's account of the visit to the White House for Christmas, 1941, is an extraordinary evocation of that time of faith and misfortune, when the President and the "Former Naval Person" cemented a fellowship which carried their countries to the final triumph. Casablanca, Moscow, Teheran, again and again Washington, Quebec, and at last Yalta and Potsdam. On all the voyages, through all the trials, Lord Moran was at Churchill's side. Alone, as he prepared for bed, the Prime Minister confided his hopes and disappointments to the doctor who soon was the closest of friends. And after the war, through the solitary years out of office, the struggle to regain power, the administration of a country and empire tired from the heroic trial of war, the statesman almost daily revealed his aspirations, his failures, his strengths and weaknesses, to his companion of the glorious days. Finally, when Sir Winston laid aside his great office and, ill but indomitable, fought out the last years, Lord Moran was at hand in all the crises. To the very end, everything was recorded in one of the splendid diaries of the English-speaking world. No other man could have told this story, which will last as long as the memory of its magnificent protagonist. When, at last, Sir Winston died, "He was taken at night to Westminster, to the hall of William Rufus, and there for three days he lay in state, while the people gathered . . . to do honour to the man they loved for his valour. On the fourth day he was borne on a gun-carriage to St. Paul's. There followed a long line of men in arms, marching to sorrowful music. With all the panoply of Church and State, Size:

Etat : New. Idioma/Language: Español. Publicado originalmente en 1945, Anatom a del valor es un relato radical sobre los efectos psicol gicos de la guerra narrados a trav s de v vidas observaciones de primera mano, as como de jugosas an cdotas. Al exponer el Çmetabolismo ntimoÈ de su propia mente y recordar sus experiencias como oficial m dico en las trincheras durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, Lord Moran explora la verdadera naturaleza del valor en el frente. En estas p ginas la vida y la muerte no son conceptos filos ficos lejanos, sino que se sienten y se padecen como si estuvi ramos hundidos en las trincheras. Lord Moran es considerado uno de los m dicos de guerra m s importantes de la historia y sus observaciones llenas de humanidad, sus an lisis cient ficos y las soluciones que propuso estaban muy adelantadas a su poca y constituyen una gran fuente de informaci n sobre la Primera Guerra Mundial. Los temas abordados en este libro trascienden la historia militar para arrojar luz sobre el comportamiento humano en situaciones extremas y la manera de gestionar crisis colectivas. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
