I may be alone in this, but I'm not sure how much the world as we know it today actually owes to Churchill.
He did not cave, despite his war cabinet, he did not defer to Hitler, he kept himself and his country together until the reinforcements came. It must have gotten under every bit of Hitler's skin to come across such a stalwart.
He rallied his country, tolerated it being bombed but would not give up. He and his country met Hitler head on.
I've been to his house in England.
After the Freud era dies down I will read the books you suggested.
You know Churchill was half American ;) although one might say it was the Brit in him that was his better half (is there a difference really?).
