As part of our ongoing series about Winston Churchill in the lead-up to the International Churchill Society Conference in London in October, this week we interview author Robert Schmuhl about his new book ‘Mr. Churchill in the White House.’ The conversation explores the history and relationship between Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II. Robert Schmuhl, the author of ‘Mr. Churchill in the White House’ discusses the dynamics between the two leaders and their interactions. The conversation touches on Churchill’s storytelling, the differences between his relationships with Roosevelt and Eisenhower, and the significance of their meetings. It also delves into Churchill’s writing process, his visits to the White House, and the famous ‘nude bath’ story. Let’s take a deep dive into Anglo-American relations during and after World War II.
