That is it exactly.
I view Winston Churchill as one of the greatest leaders of the 20th Century...
And one of the most quotable. I purchased a book “The Quotable Winston Churchill”...
Great purchase.
That man was flawed, but...all men are flawed. All of them. And he made mistakes, as all great men do.
He was a sexist, opinionated, drinker.
I don’t see those as his flaws...:)
My mother was British (she went through the Blitz, etc.), and met my father during the war (he was a bomber pilot in the 8th Air Force based in England); they married after the war.
My mother always said that Churchill gave them (the Brits) hope, but that they (the Brits) finally believed in victory once the U.S. joined the fight. She said the Brits were stunned at the firepower “the Yanks” showed up with.
Alas, both my mother and father are gone now. I miss them still, and always will.
