Walk Among Heroes Podcast: Episode 13 - Celia Sandys (Granddaughter of Sir Winston Churchill)
It is an honor to welcome Ms. Celia Sandys as our guest for episode 13. It is impossible to examine World War II (and the 1930’s-1940’s) without understanding the influence of one of the greatest leaders in the history of our world, Sir Winston Churchill. Ms. Sandys is the granddaughter of Sir Winston Churchill, and she has dedicated her life to examining his work and continuing his legacy.
The daughter of Sir Winston’s eldest child, Diana, Ms. Sandys is an internationally-acclaimed author, journalist, television presenter, and speaker. She has published five books on various aspects of her grandfather’s life. In this podcast episode, we will discuss several excerpts from Ms. Sandys’ most recent book, We Shall Not Fail: The Inspiring Leadership of Sir Winston Churchill, which describes many of Churchill’s leadership principles, which enabled Churchill to lead Great Britain and the world to the overwhelming defeat of Nazi Germany and the Axis forces in 1945.
Another of Ms. Sandys’ books, Chasing Churchill, is the basis of a documentary which first-aired in the United States and Great Britain on PBS and the Discovery Channel in 2008. Presented and narrated by Ms. Sandys, the program describes her grandfather’s extensive military, political and private travels across the world, including the many journeys on which she accompanied him. It includes fascinating interviews with some of those who met Churchill during the course of these travels or whose parents or grandparents had done so. This riveting portrait of one of the 20th Century’s iconic figures as painted by someone who knew him as “Grandpapa”.
She has written three other books, titled Churchill Wanted Dead or Alive, From Winston with Love and Kisses, the Young Churchill, and Churchill, A Short Biography. All of her books can be found on Amazon.com.
Ms. Sandys is in great demand as a speaker, and her time is extremely valuable. We are very thankful for her willingness to dedicate some time to discuss her grandfather and his legacy. Thank you again, Ms. Sandys.
As always, thank you Shreyas Ganesh for donating your time as sound engineer.
