Churchill

Episode 2 of 4

Andrew Roberts reveals many of Churchill's weaknesses as a subordinate in charge of the Royal Navy, and the great strengths they became once he was made prime minister.

Before Churchill won his reputation as Britains greatest wartime Prime Minister, he had a less than successful spell at the Admiralty. But as historian Andrew Roberts reveals, many of the weaknesses he revealed as a subordinate in charge of the Navy became great strengths once he was the man in ultimate charge. In the second film in this innovative series, Andrew Roberts explores the leadership techniques Churchill employed to avert a Nazi invasion, while drawing comparisons with other leaders in politics and business who have used the same methods as those first championed by Winston Churchill.
