Young and old should study up on Winston Churchill. Even though I consider him an alcoholic, he still didn't excellent job keeping England together. Watch the movie The Darkest Hour which describes how much chaos it was in the English government to accept Churchill as a Prime Minister and how some in his political party wanted to negotiate with Hitler instead of digging instead of trying to make peace with Adolf Hitler. He was kind of like the Donald Trump of England in the 1930s and 40s.
While some, like Time Magazine making Hitler the Man of the year, were looking at Hitler as a hero before the war, Winston Churchill saw his brown shirts and what they did to Germany and was warning in Parliament how bad Hitler was. People were making a laughing stock about Winston Churchill until the French and English were being beaten in France prior to Dunkirk.

The man is an extraordinary writer and historian as well. I just finished his ‘World Crisis’ series (5 volumes) and am working through the ‘Second World War’ series (6 volumes)...
Very well written with personal anecdotes about events he witnessed. Between the two series’ he covers the events in Europe from about 1912 in the buildup to WWI through the War and its aftermath. The he picks up in the 1920’s through the rise of Hitler & the Axis powers on through the War and it’s aftermath.
Excellent author! If you have a year or so on your hands, and have an interest in 20th Century Europe (and the Wars), then you *REALLY* should read these histories.

I have the "Second World War" 6 book set. It is an incredible read. The second book is centered around the time that the recent movie was made about Churchill (Darkest Hour). I wasn't crazy about the portrayal of Churchill in the movie having read the books and read his words and explored his thoughts etc.

Churchill was definitely underappreciated, certainly at the beginning. He was a man with a vision and courage who kept the country together

An alternative view of Churchill, I disagree. But, it has its own perspective. Lt Col Charlie Brown https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/global-opinions/wp/2018/03/10/in-winston-churchill-hollywood-rewards-a-mass-murderer/

I was referring to his WWII situation and not anything else. He like a lot of other leaders did some things I truly dislike but everyone who remained in Europe would be a German speaker now if not for his actions, imo.

Maj Robert Thornton - It would have meant Brits being in combat for a generation or two to keep stolen property. Look How many dead the Brits lost in two world wars, they did not want to start at war for another generations.
he was a great wartime leaders, but He wanted to STAY a wartime leader after the war ended.
