I did search on History Prof. Toye. http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/news/press/dpp/2006112702
He`s publicizing his new book. Of course, headlines by Reuters` helps. One interesting thing i found was Churchill`s copying of HG Wells` phrases like the Gathering Storm and Selective Breeding: Wells advocated the idea of selective breeding, arguing that people should only be able to have children if they met certain conditions ? including physical fitness and financial independence. Churchill told Wells he particularly admired ?the skill and courage with which the questions of marriage & population were discussed? in his book. Not long after reading the book, Churchill was described by a friend as ?a strong eugenist? ? a supporter of selective breeding.
I hope he advocated this before Hitler`s Mein Kempf in |
