Jan 10, 1952 - Washington, District of Columbia, USA - The greatest of all Britain s war leaders, WINSTON CHURCHILL was uniquely stirred by the challenge of war and found his fulfillment in leading the democracies to victory. It was to prove more important that as a democrat, he was disgusted by the rise of totalitarian systems in Europe. In 1935 he warned the House of Commons of the importance not only of self-preservation but also of the human and the world cause of the preservation of free governments and of Western civilization against the ever advancing sources of authority and despotism.
