It is always darkest before the dawn. Churchill makes a great lead character. If he had been written as a fictional character, he would be utterly over the top.
"Churchill fired up the gramophone and began to play military marches and songs, marching to the music while carrying a big-game rifle, executing rifle drills and bayonet maneuvers, looking in his rompers like a fierce pale blue Easter egg gone to war"

Churchill's maneuvering of the US to get us involved was brilliant, but so too were the machinations of many. I love how deep this goes into Winnie's own team of rivals.

Empathic leaders with a view of the future and no thought, in planning a course for the country, of personal gain or comfort. (This despite being a big fan of personal gain and comfort in the abstract.) It is like wonderland!

I am moments away from The Blitz. It is amazing how we got to this moment.

Winnie was even weirder than I thought, and I have learned so much about the people around him that really illuminates the history.
