He reminds me of the Churchill I’m reading about in Buchanan’s book - the best in a war, very dangerous otherwise.
THere are some fantastic biographies of CHurchill. I would not use Buchanan’s take on him to judge the man. He was brilliant and foresaw many things, including the trouble of the Mohammedians.
That part in the movie where Paton is looking over the dead on a battlefield and says, “I love this”, is like the gleeful Churchill as England is about to enter WWI.
750,000 from the British Empire died in that war.
