Saturday Snippet: Winston Churchill and "the Prof" during World War II
An aspect of war seldom considered is how the personalities of the leaders involved - politicians, soldiers, sailors, airmen and industrialists - contribute to victory or defeat. Many of those involved with such people don't speak about their experiences, sometimes due to a sense of loyalty to their superiors, other times because of obstacles such as Official Secrets Acts or similar legislation. One example is found in "Winston Churchill's Toyshop" by Colonel Stuart Macrae. The book is a light-hearted but intensely interesting look at how many of the secret weapons of World... read more
