Complex ways than i had imagined. And i came to understand him better, i hope and think, and it was a painful process. Host did you approach this book from a fans perspective . Guest well, im a scholar, right . So i dont think that i can write anything down that i cant defend. But i do admire churchill very much.

Did you approach the book from a fan perspective . I am a scholar five 01 to write anything i cannot defend but i do admiring him very much and just to list the things that he achieved his very hard for anybody in history like can. He wrote 50 books and theyre worth reading just by itself
