Okay, we are live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates. On today's show, I have a very special guest, a returning guest. His name is Edward Dutton. And we've talked a few times in 2021. Back in August, we talked about his book, which is feminism in the fall of the West. Really a fascinating book. Very well received a lot of talk about that book amongst people who listen to my show.

And then in November, we covered another of his books, At Our Wits End,

Why We're Becoming Less Intelligent and What It Means for the Future.

But today we're going to talk about a book I found very interesting and enjoyed reading.

Title of the book is Churchill's Headmaster, the sadist who nearly saved the British

Empire. And this was originally published four years ago, but it goes into detail about a certain

part of kind of UK or British schoolastic culture, and it deals with kind of Churchill's rise

and also the kind of myth that surrounds

Winston Churchill but Professor Edward Dutton has a website which is his full name

Edward Dutton.com and he also runs the Jolly Heretic and if you want a list a list of his books

you can listen to some of my earlier other two earlier were, I list out some of his titles.

But anyway, so Edward Dutton, welcome to the show.

Thanks for returning.

Thank you for having me on.

Is this now my third time?

Third, correct.

It says I'm becoming a regular on William Ramsey Investigates.

Well, yes.

Well, I'm delighted.

Good, yeah, I have. It's a different angle. Definitely,

the Witch's Feminism was really fascinating. But this one, too, also kind of moves against this kind of norm

that Churchill is some kind of lion who was really, you know, a critical, crucial figure of winning World War II.
