Unfortunately for Hitler, he was born at a time when two of the greatest leaders in the 20th century, if not over a broader period of time--Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt--would be available, at the right time, to defeat him. I am a great admirer of both of those leaders. This Whispersync deal is a must-purchase for me.

Please note that, while this book discusses Churchill's military leadership, it is primarily oriented toward covering his political views and actions.

Remember to check the libraries where you have borrowing privileges and see if they have the Kindle ebook. If so, you can save $1.99, making the Whispersync deal only $3.99. And, since you are on the Deals, Freebies, and Resources thread right now, I know that you like saving money.

While I am on the subject, don't hesitate to put a hold on the ebook if it is checked out. The Audible audio narration portion of a Whispersync deal rarely fluctuates in price; however, the ebook portion very frequently does. And, since there is a markdown on this ebook at the current time, it is most likely to go up in price, not down.

Book Description (Amazon):
No statesman shaped the twentieth century more than Winston Churchill. To know the full Churchill is to understand the combination of boldness and caution, of assertiveness and humility, that defines statesmanship at its best. With fresh perspective and insights based on decades of studying and teaching Churchill, Larry P. Arnn explores the greatest challenges faced by Churchill over the course of his extraordinary career, both in war and peace—and always in the context of Churchill’s abiding dedication to constitutionalism.

Churchill’s Trial is organized around the three great challenges to liberty that Churchill faced: Nazism, Soviet communism, and his own nation’s slide toward socialism. Churchill knew that stable free government, long enduring, is rare, and hangs upon the balance of many factors ever at risk. Combining meticulous scholarship with an engrossing narrative arc, this book holds timely lessons for today. Arnn says, “Churchill’s trial is also our trial. We have a better chance to meet it because we had in him a true statesman.”

In a scholarly, timely, and highly erudite way, Larry Arnn puts the case for Winston Churchill continuing to be seen as statesman from whom the modern world can learn important lessons. In an age when social and political morality seems all too often to be in a state of flux, Churchill’s Trial reminds us of the enduring power of the concepts of courage, duty, and honor.
