Included
Five of World War II’s most powerful leaders – Churchill, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and Roosevelt – were shaped by their experiences in World War I. Their past battles influenced their wartime decisions, from Churchill’s reluctance to send troops to France to Hitler’s missteps on the Eastern Front. Phillips Payson O’Brien reveals how personal history shapes military strategy, with lessons that still resonate today. Through a compelling look at leadership in war, O’Brien will discuss how the choices of a few can alter the course of history – for better or worse.
