A man who changed the world and lead his country in a periless time of hardship against a formidable enemy. This is a tribute to Sir Winston Churchill.

The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events." -Sir Winston Churchill
