Description

Churchill was a man born out of his time. Even in his youth, thirsting for fame and unconcerned with how he achieved it, he was regarded as a troublemaker. He was not a typical aristocrat seeking universal recognition, but an ambitious opportunist and an independent-minded publicist who promoted himself using persistent methods atypical for English society. Churchill's stance against appeasement in the 1930s earned him the nickname of a "warmonger." These were Churchill's "wilderness years," when he was in disgrace and denied access to office. Like the mythical Cassandra, his predictions, though accurate, were fated to go unheeded. But fate was kinder to Churchill than it was to the ancient Greek heroine.
