Winston Churchill was the cigar-chomping, balding son of an English aristocrat and American socialite and one of the greatest wartime leaders the modern world has seen. I am none of the above. I’m also not much of a war history buff, but I was surprisingly moved by his story when visiting the truly fascinating Cabinet War Rooms recently.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
Sure, we remember Churchill for his incredible achievements as a World War II leader but it’s worth noting he also made poor decisions both during WWI and WWII. The Dardanelles campaign during World War I is a particularly poignant example as Churchill strongly advocated this naval maneuver that tragically resulted in more than two hundred thousand lives being lost.
