Summary
Revered for his strength of character and his willful defiance when Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany, Winston Churchill's legacy paints him as one of World War II's most heroic figures-a characterization that overshadows his faults and his foibles during those crucial years. But those faults and foibles have their own devastating legacy.
