In 1940 two enemies faced each other across the English Channel, both giants in their own way, as the fate of the world hung in the balance.
General John Strawson, in this first dual biography of these two towering figures, allows us to see the history of World War II in a new and surprising way, through the actions of these two major antagonists. How did their lives and experiences before the war prepare them for the fateful encounter? How did they set about conducting their grand strategic affairs for the war that spanned the globe?
After tracing Hitler's early rise to power and Churchill's many youthful political and military accomplishments before and during the Great War, Strawson takes the reader to the battlefields of Europe and North Africa as well as to Churchill's war cabinet meetings and Hitler's headquarters.
Contrasting the two most influential men of the twentieth century, Churchill and Hitler: In Victory and Defeat, is an essential study of leadership and warfare.
Major General John Strawson CBE was a British Army Officer best known for his service in the Second World War. After retiring from the military he wrote a number of historical works and biographies.
