MPL Talks: Winston Churchill & the Battle of Britain

Our Major Leaders of World War II series concludes with a closer look at Winston Churchill.

Our speaker, John Foster—who, in addition to being a librarian, also has a doctorate degree in history—discussed:

• Churchill’s acumen as a leader, speaker, soldier, writer, war correspondent, and drinker.
• Churchill’s relationship with Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Stalin.
