The Duel

By: John Lukacs - Available at Amazon

A look at two important historical figures, Churchill and Hitler, specifically during WWII. Didn't actually finish it, it felt like it was building to something but then I left for India and didn't really feel like going back to it. I think the point was that if it hadn't been for Churchill, Hitler would have won WWII. One insight I had forgotten is that the Nazi's were revolutionary, not reactionary. Their outlook and attitude was as impressive as it was terrible.
