CHURCHILL saved not only Great Britain, but also Western civilization and even the world from the totalitarian forces of the coalition Germany-Italy-Japan with their satellites. For a long while, he felt dramatically alone to understand, since the beginnings, Hitler and the Nazi project. He denounced persistently “the Appeasement delusion” under its various forms and mobilized Great Britain’s and Allies resistance until final victory. He also denounced communism and its “iron curtain”. Man of multiple talents, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for the quality and abundance of his written work. Without Churchill’s profile and skills, the second World War would have been a different story with very dire consequences.
