This is a book club episode. In it, Travis and Amanda will discuss and analyze the second half of Churchill and Orwell: The Fight for Freedom by Thomas E. Ricks. You should expect full “spoilers,” discussions of rhetorical elements, and celebrations / critiques of style and substance.
From the cover: “From the #1 New York Times bestselling author, a dual biography of Winston Churchill and George Orwell - two icons who preserved democracy from the threats of authoritarianism. To an extent not sufficiently appreciated, Churchill and Orwell both proved their age’s necessary men. Taken together…their lives are a beautiful testament to the power of moral conviction, and to the courage it can take to stay true to it.”
