Churchill Had Short-Man Syndrome
October 11, 2014
Says Boris Johnson, in his new biography of little Winston, “Who else was 5 foot 6 or under? Some of the biggest tyrants and creeps in world history: Augustus (5 foot 6), Napoleon (ditto), Mussolini (ditto) Stalin (teensy at 5 foot 4). Hitler was only 5 foot 8. All these characters have been associated with the over-compensatory aggression that is sometimes referred to as ‘short man’ syndrome; and there is some evidence, at least on the face of it, that Churchill did, too.”
I wonder if Boris has read Ralph Raico great revisionist monograph on the real Winnie?
