I'm reading a biography of Harry Truman, which also talks about Churchill [Potsdam and afterwards]. From what is in the book, I see a lot more similarities between Truman and President Bush. Of course, it just deals with the last few weeks of Churchill's time in office. Churchill was of patrician side of society, late riser etc. Truman was a common man, farmer before politics, early riser, liked to exercise. The book I'm reading talks a lot about Truman's leadership qualities. Punctual, dressed neatly, and a respect for the office of President. A lot like W.
The way he treated his staff.

I'm wondering what comparisons you'll be able to make of Churchill. What little I've read I don't see a lot of strong comparisons between Churchill and W.

Hope your paper works out.
