Dear Mr. Irving:
According to Churchill's bibliographer,
Frederick Woods, it looks as if Churchill is responsible
for the article
in the Illustrated Sunday Herald on "Zionism versus
bolshevism." You will note that it was part of a series,
the sort of writing commission Churchill was fond of
accepting.
I'm not enough of a Churchill scholar
to discuss his stand on Zionism but I will drop these
comments...
At this time Churchill was again
closely associated with Eddie Marsh. Somewhere I read an
unverified rumor that at times Eddie Marsh ghosted a
Churchill article or two when Churchill was unable to
meet a deadline. I wouldn't doubt that Marsh was capable
of doing this. Could this piece be one of those?
You might also want to look at the
ideas expressed. Are they the ideas expressed by T.E.
Lawrence whose influence on Churchill could have been
direct and indirect via Eddie Marsh? Because as you know
Lawrence went to work for Churchill in 1921 and I'm sure
they were well acquainted before that.
Just an idea.
Sincerely yoursRichard
Heinzkill
