Antoine,

I'm sorry. It was not my intention to offend.

Subject: Re: [ChurchillChat] "original discussion"

Dear Mr Sandys,

Indeed, the list of books has nothing to do _prima facie_ with your 
questioning of the Centre's work - and it was not meant to have any. People 
better qualified than me can answer you on the Centre's work - though they 
might choose not to, considering the tone you are adopting.*

Indirectly, however, the memory of your great-grandfather's achievements can 
best be kept by works (in the realm of books) which discuss his time and his 
action during that time in a scholarly fashion - which I believe will be the 
case in all four.

In case you were confusing my IB Tauris message with that on Robert Hardy 
and the young : I also believe that good works on television and the cinema 
are ideal to arouse interest in historic figures like your great-grandfather 
in a generation which was brought up on these media, as opposed to books.

Best wishes,

A. Capet

*People of my generation (i.e. "old" people) were brought up on a principle 
which would no doubt make many laugh today : "Respect your elders and 
betters".
You obviously believe that you great name makes you number among the 
"betters" - but please do not forget the other part of the phrase. Please 
also meditate the odium that your great-uncle Randolph generated by not 
respecting either. It would be disastrous for you if you followed his 
arrogant path.
