      Americans are also ending wars. Special kinds of Americans. Some want to destroy history and culture but most of them don't. America is truly the last resistance against a nihilistic and dull world void of culture

    Looking forward to the rest of this series and it's important to mention how his life as a military officer influenced his views and style alike. Churchill joined the British Army in 1894 and saw action from Cuba to India to South-Africa, writing books about his experiences. Becoming a politician he even re-commissioned as LtColonelfor the first World War narrowly escaped death in Belgium. Between 1919 - 1935 Churchill enjoyed a deep friensdship with Thomas Edward Lawrence "of Arabia".
    In later life Sir Winston Churchill certainly enjoyed the good of living grand like "God in France" as he painted many scenes at the French Riviera and Provence region.
    Curious to see if this series will also elaborate on Churchill's wrist watches Lemania and Rolex.
    A great celebration of his 150th anniversary but January 2025 will already mark the 60th anniversary of his passing...

    I’m so glad I stumbled on this video! I’ve never been much of a wearer of fragrances, however after seeing this video and learning the amazing backstory of Special No. 127 I had to order a sample bottle to experience it for myself. It arrived today, and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with it! I’ve never experienced a fragrance that has so many different distinct notes that blend together so well, and can also be identified individually when trying to. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation, and I’ll be ordering a full size bottle. I cannot recommend Floris enough!

    Great video Kirby. When speaking of "taste" there is something to be said about it not always being expensive. I hold here as I watch this, a Mercator folding knife from Germany, the famous "Kat 55" knife. You can get higher steels, more expensive handle materials, but where else can you get a Kat 55? Nowhere! There is only one classic with its' history. Same with Opinel knives, if you want an Opinel then only an Opinel will do. Sometimes classic taste is just as much about history as about expense.

    And of course, Winston Churchill was the son of American Gilded Age heiress Jennie Jerome

    A great idea for a series but I do wish that Mr. Allison would take the time to learn how to properly pronounce British names. "Churchill" is one word. It's not two words. The "h" is basically silent; it's not "Church-hill." It's "Church-ill." Also, the Duke of Marlborough is pronounced "MAL-bur-uh" not "MARLborough."
