  • Description: This is not a text about Winston Churchill as a man or a politician. Instead, it sees him as a cultural and historical symbol; how he is depicted in contemporary historiography, popular culture, and modern political campaigns, particularly focusing on the Brexit debate, and how Churchill's legacy was used as a tool by both Leave and Remain campaigns.
