He truly was a man who made history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Boris Johnson explores the man behind the name, and what makes up his unique 'Churchill Factor'. Taking on the myths and misconceptions along with the outsized reality, he portrays - with characteristic wit and passion - a man of multiple contradictions, contagious bravery, breath-taking eloquence, matchless strategizing and deep humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFearless on the battlefield, Churchill had to be ordered by the King to stay out of action on D-Day; he embraced large-scale strategic bombing, yet hated the destruction of war and scorned politicians who had not experienced its horrors. He was a celebrated journalist, a great orator and won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was famous for his ability to combine wining and dining with many late nights of crucial wartime decision-making. His open-mindedness made him a pioneer in healthcare, education and social welfare, though he remained incorrigibly politically incorrect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished in association with Churchill Heritage, \u003ci\u003eThe Churchill Factor\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what makes a great leader in a time of crisis.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40944064233569,"sku":"9781444783056","price":12.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_38846403.jpg?v=1764383078","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781444783056-the-churchill-factor","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
