Peter,
As has been noted elsewhere, this delay has very little to do with Prof. Mueller who, I understand, completed his work a significant time ago. Since we have established that WSC is not involved in the project (sorry Stan :)) it’s all down to the publishers. The last time I was in touch with Bruce Fingerhut of St Augustine’s (Oct 24th 2016), he assured me that he would know the publication date for sure by the end of November. He also assured me he was aware of the death of Lady Soames, referred to on their website as “Churchill’s only surviving child”. That reference is still there. If you want to try getting latest status from Bruce, he is at br...@staugustine.net <mailto:br...@staugustine.net> Dave From: 'Peter D.

Am I missing something here? James Muller - explain yourself. On Monday, September 11, 2017, 1:04:51 PM PDT, Peter Wrobel < <mailto:pdwrob...@yahoo.com> pdwrob...@yahoo.com> wrote: Ok. This is just wrong. We have been promised something We paid money for something that really should not take 10 or 20 years to do. There is no excuse for something like this to happen.

There are rays of light. For example Hillsdale's republication of Sir Martin Gilbert's wonderful biography and the ongoing accompanying volumes, has been a real pleasure to watch and enjoy.

I was totally unaware of this fact since there is no clarification on the St. Augustine website. Apologies to all for my ignorance and flippancy.

Orchard Sent: Monday, September 11, 2017 2:00 PM To: <mailto:churchillchat@googlegroups.com> churchillchat@googlegroups.com Subject: [ChurchillChat] Approaching Another Milestone How dreadful are the curses which The River War (St. Augustine Press) lays on its prospective readers! Besides the fanatical frenzy to purchase this bloody book, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy by the author and publisher. The ultimate effects of this enterprise are forever forthcoming. The implication of impotent writing habits, slovenly systems of manuscript editing, sluggish methods of book binding, and randomly selected or expired publication dates are manifest wherever the followers of the St. Augustine Press website access their internet. A degrading sense of hopelessness and abandonment envelops Churchill fans deprived of this book’s much heralded grace and refinement; along with an ever-diminishing faith in the dignity of scholarly publications and the sanctity of truth in advertising. On this coming September 20th will Professor Mueller once again emerge from his Alaskan burrow, manuscript in hand, only to be repelled by sight of his own shadow?
