Churchill

I am watching the HBO special on Winston Churchill, "Into the Storm." The story is well-told, and they hit some high points. The Battle of Britain is a small part of the movie, thought it should have had more coverage.

What laws of power did Churchill follow?

Law 28 Enter Action with Boldness

The conventional narrative (which I believe) is that Chamberlain was weak and appeasing. Churchill realized early on that negotiation with Hitler was futile, and that there would be no freedom without a fight. He appeared at the right time in history, and his boldness has kept us from all speaking German now.
