Books
From his earliest days Winston Churchill was an extreme risk taker and he carried this into adulthood. Today, he is widely hailed as Britain's greatest wartime leader and politician. Deep down though, he was foremost a warlord. Just like his ally Stalin, and his arch enemies Hitler and Mussolini, Churchill could not help himself and insisted on personally directing the strategic conduct of World War II. In this fascinating book, historian Anthony Tucker-Jones explores Churchill as a military commander, assessing how the military experiences of his formative years shaped him for the difficult military decisions he took in office.
