darkest-hour

We have disagreed on a lot but I'll agree with you here. The only bad thing I'll say about Churchill is that he may have tried to hold onto to power too long as his health failed him, but his leadership during war time was perhaps even more important to his country than FDR's was to this country.

I have Churchill's six book set, The Second World War (from the second impression, 1948). His writing is as solid as his leadership in the perilous times of WWII. While he turned the phrase "Never in the field of human conflict have so many owed so much, to so few" about the RAF and the Battle of Britain, it could just as easily be applied to his leadership of Great Britain leading up to and during WWII. The debt owed by civilization to him would be hard to overstate. He was not a perfect man but the right man, at the right time for the right situation.

I plan to see the movie at some point. I am glad to hear that you think it is a good film. I will take that as a "two thumbs up" referral for the flick.
