Great Britain's Winston Churchill was a leader during the Depression and World War II. He kept the flame of hope alive for his countrymen and indeed, for a groaning world.

Winston Churchill became Prime Minister of Great Britain at an age when most men would be retiring.  His long study and deep understanding of history, his engagement in the political life of his nation, and his extraordinary facility with words made him Britain's irreplaceable man in World War II. 

​When England stood alone against Hitler, he was at his most eloquent, calling for sacrifice, perseverance, and hope.
