Author of "God and Churchill: How the Greater Leader's Sense of Divine Destiny Changes His Troubled World and Offers Hope for Ours."
There's never been another world leader whose speeches were as eagerly awaited for as Churchill. Nobody combined wit and venom in his parliament speeches as well as Churchill.
