5.0 out of 5 starsWow! I am honored to call him a fellow man...
By Matthew Ausfahl on March 25, 2000
Format: Hardcover
Before I read this book, I knew Winston Churchill only as the great man who played a key role in saving Western civilization during WWII. What Mansfield's book unveils is his brutal, heartrending childhood and hideous treatment at the hands of his father, the physical frailties that plagued him his whole life, the multiple depressive episodes throughout his life, his struggle to overcome his speech deficiency (a lisp), his incredible escape from prison camp in South Africa, his getting rolled by a cab in NY City, etc. etc. etc. I challenge anyone to read this book and not conclude that God had a special plan for this man (and, by extension, for Him to have him grace the world with his incredible inner strength, convictions, and courage). Basically, Churchill had every reason to end up a loser, or at least a chronic underachiever, in life. That he didn't is testimony to, as the title states, his incredible character. This is an incredibly inspiring reading.

5.0 out of 5 starsFor Leaders, not avid Historians
By A Customer on May 30, 2004
Format: Paperback
In reading the reviews under this section, I find that a reader either loves this book or hates it - there is very little middle ground.

I believe those who discount this book are looking for an objective work on the history of Churchill. While this is a very fascinating subject, the market is saturated with such works, so if that is what you are looking for, go elsewhere...

Those who love the book don't seem to place such emphasis on its historical precision; rather on the value of the information as it pertains to their own lives and leadership styles.

I found this book to contain many great nuggets of wisdom and my highlighter saw much action as I poured through the pages.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their leadership qualities. If you are looking for a historical masterpiece, this isn't it nor did the author intend it to be...

4.0 out of 5 starsA concise look at a great man's character
By Amazon Customer on March 31, 2001
Format: Hardcover
This book can be divided into two main parts. The first half is comprised of short summaries of key events in Winston Churchill's life and political career. These include his adventures during the British/Boer war of South Africa to his more famous role as head of England during WWII.
The second half of the book is a group of short (most being 4 pages long) stories and descriptions of Churchill's perspectives on elements of human life and character. These chapters have titles such as: the Bible, family, loyalty, marriage, death, etc.
For an in-depth biography of this amazing leader, you will need to find another book. But for a short, interesting background on the mind and beliefs of Winston Churchill, this is the perfect buy.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent
By henryraddick@hotmail.com on February 16, 2001
Format: Hardcover
This excellent book gives a fascinating insight into the embodiment of British "Bulldog Spirit". Take Churchill in May 1940 - appointed Prime Minister only weeks before, with France about to be overrun by a massive armoured thrust from Germany, the British Expeditionary Force desperately fighting to avoid being cut-off, and the risk of an aerial and naval onslaught on Britain a very real one, he faced a divided Cabinet. He rallied his supporters and opponents in the cabinet by initiating a top-secret cabinet "Fight Club" where he and fellow politicians bonded in the course of gruelling fist fights in an underground Whitehall gymnasium. Resolve and spirit was inculcated into the War Cabinet during these encounters - the message being "no surrender". A vivid picture of Britain's finest statesman emerges: despite his age and lack of robust health Churchill impressed his colleagues, not least in a bloody bout with a physically stronger Neville Chamberlain. Churchill was battered and bruised when the former Tory Prime Minister ferociously laid into him, goaded on by Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax. But with Chamberlain poised to knock him out, Churchill spoke - "There will be no parley or surrender. This will end only when I am lying choking on my own blood on the ground." Some say that was the moment when the war was won.

5.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding Book
By A Customer on January 18, 2004
Format: Paperback
I found this book to be a superb look at the man and what made him succeed against all odds. This is an inspirational book and I enjoyed it so much that I have re-read it a second time.
Not only is the book full of insightful and moving comments about Churchill but, it gives a deeper perspective on what made him the undaunting leader that he was. The book is short but wonderful. It does have a Christian perspective and I assume that this is why some readers are putting it down. Nevertheless, Churchill's faith was an important part of his life and ultimately why he sensed his destiny. I love this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsinspirational
By ymchow on February 27, 2000
Format: Hardcover
This is a wonderful small book that describles how a man could overcome overwhelming difficulty and oppositions with a firm belief and an exemptional moral courage. In this book you will find Churchill was a fallible, ordinary man who mistakes, but yet achieved extraordinary things despite his limitations. The development of his life shows us how a weak, self-doubted, shy boy to become a strong, energetic, effective leader with nothing but a deep inside guidance to do good. Never give in is the main theme of this book and each chapter reinforces the theme. This is not a "self-help" book that usually tells you how to feel good about yourself. This is a book on character development that takes duty, pain, responsibilities, and more importantly, a deep inside moral guidance. These concepts are quite foreign nowsday and that's what it makes this small standing out.
