The book translates the way Churchill successfully managed some of the events of WWII into a modern business context, enabling readers to learn from one of the greatest men in history and apply his skills to the business world of the 21st Century. In chapters such as The Unintended Consequences of Treating People Decently or How To Deal With The Stalin's of This World, I combine a story about how Churchill managed an event in the War, and place the example into a modern context, drawing conclusion for the reader to apply to the business environment of today. In addition I have packed the book with lots of fascinating stories from the War. If the business aspect of the book is not to everyone?s taste, the wartime stories alone should make the purchase worthwhile. A general who served under Sir Winston Churchill throughout the war famously stated that he was an exasperating task master, however, it was a privilege to serve under someone whose like existed on the earth only once every thousand years.
