On Thursday, March 31st, Pi Sigma Alpha hosted Dr. James W. Muller, a renowned expert on the life and writing of Winston Churchill, to discuss his new edition of Churchill’s The River War: An Historical Account of the Reconquest of the Soudan.
The talk, which was delivered virtually to an audience of more than 40 students, staff, and professors, was divided into two parts. The first part was a presentation on the book, including an overview of the events of the war, a description of Churchill’s attitudes towards the war and its participants, and a reflection on the implications of the conflict for the political situation in Northern Africa and Britain. The second part consisted of a lively Q&A session, in which Muller impressed one participant with his “seemingly endless” knowledge of Churchill. Another student applauded Dr. Muller’s “thoroughness.”
