Hitler and Churchill

Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill were two totally opposite leaders- both in what they stood for and in the way in which they seemed to lead. Award-winning historian Andrew Roberts examines their different styles of leadership and draws parallels with rulers from other eras. He also looks at the way Hitler and Churchill estimated each other as leaders, and how it affected the outcome of the War. In a world that is as dependent on leadership as any earlier age Hitler and Churchill asks searching questions about our need to be led. In doing so, Andrew Roberts forces us to re-examine the way that we look at those who take decisions for us.
