Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Sir Winston Churchill’s family begged him not to convert to Islam, letter reveals

I remember this item of news passed through this forum a while ago. When this new thread about Churchill surfaced, I thought to search for it. The challenge now is to connect the dots in the seeming divergence of historical interpretations.
