Description

There are characters, and then there are people of character. Winston Churchill by any analysis was both. He is one of the most extraordinary leaders the 20th century has produced. For Churchill, leadership was about eternal values, the societies those values produce, and the character needed in the present to pursue the future.

Many would be surprised by the author's recounting of Churchill's faith, as I was, but he shows how that faith altered the course of a nation beset by war. Churchill indeed has much to say to our current generation of leadership, caught up as we are in its pop culture and questionable philosophies of leadership. Wonderful insight into a colorful and controversial character.

According to Henry Kissinger, "Our age finds it difficult to come to grips with Churchill. The political leaders with whom we are familiar generally aspire to be superstars rather than heroes. The distinction is crucial. Superstars strive for approbation; heroes walk alone.

Superstars crave consensus; heroes define themselves by the judgment of a future they see it as they task to bring about. Superstars seek success in a technique for eliciting support; heroes pursue success as the outgrowth of their inner values."
In this incisive look at his leadership in action, we see what it was that enabled him to do what few others have ever accomplished in the long annals of history: stand for principle and prevail.
