I didn't do a word count, but significant parts of the book were more about the author than about Winston Churchill. In addition, some chapters were very thin, and the book in general was poorly edited. A noun is not made plural by adding an apostrophe and an 's'. It was rather distracting.

On a bright note, the author's enthusiasm for Churchill is well-communicated.

What Would Churchill Do? - Business Advice from the Man Who Saved the World by Stuart Finlay is a 130 page book. It references 'Churchill's WWII memoirs to show how he managed the war and how this translates into modern business context' but for me it did not work.

The stuff on Churchill, quotes etc., worked, it was good, but to relate it into business context from a man (a great man) whom 2 generations are quite unfamiliar with did not work for myself.

As the book states, 'capturing all that was positive about Churchill' and written by a man 'who has fallen under his spell' so from a WWII, amazing PM of Britain the book works well, but to mix it with modern business context made the cake not rise as it could have. One or the other would have worked better.
