How Churchill Saved Civilization: The Epic Story of 13 Years That Almost Destroyed the Civilized World

Description

Review "Harte minces no words in presenting Churchill as the central figure and driving force in the West's resistance to Nazi Germany--resistance that was by no means a given. Harte describes Churchill as unique in being alert to danger, perceptive in analyzing it, and decisive in responding to it. Churchill's failures and shortcomings were penumbras of his ability and insight. Not, in the context of times times, was he a blinkered imperialist nor a destructive racist. Unabashed and unapologetic, this is a controversial and useful addition to the literature." -Dennis Showalter, PhD, author of Patton and Rommel , Hitler's Panthers, and Armor and Blood: The Battle of Kursk"Harte minces no words in presenting Churchill as the central figure and driving force in the West's resistance to Nazi Germany--resistance that was by no means a given.
