Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 After the Dardanelles operation, the Allied armies in Turkey grew to nearly half a million men. It was the most conspicuous British defeat of the war. Churchill was finished. He wanted to take some active part in beating the Germans, but he couldn't - it had been taken from him.
#2 Churchill was assigned to the Grenadier Guards, a British regiment, in 1915. He was received warmly by the Guards' commander, but was dismayed to find that the battalion was not at all consulted in the decision to hire him.
#3 Churchill was extremely popular with the men, and he enjoyed spending time with them. He often went out at night and checked the barbed wire, reconnoitered trails, or looked for signs of enemy penetration.
#4 Churchill was given a battalion to lead in 1915. He made the men sing while they were marching to and from the front, and he deloused their clothing. He made the soldiers build defenses with the keen eye of a graduate of the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst.
