Very interesting book on Churchill focusing on his leadership in the war and what prepared him for being Prime Minister. It was a very readable book although Downing's presentation of events was a little erratic (although he walks you through this in the introduction). Overall it was an enjoyable read and I learned a whole lot about the great War leader, Winston Churchill.

I've never seen such a misleading title in my life. This book is not about what its title suggests. It is part Churchill biography and part synopsis of WWII. It is not very good in either role. There is, quite simply, nothing to recommend this book.

I believe this should be a must read for anyone wanting to be motivated &/or interested in the impact & changes that attitude as well as technology can have in the world! Well written & makes you want to read more!
