Book Overview
'His book is timely and a triumph. Roberts manages to convey all the reader needs to know about two men to whom battalions of biographies have been devoted' EVENING STANDARD
Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill were two totally opposite leaders - both in what they stood for and in the way in which they seemed to lead. Award-winning historian Andrew Roberts examines their different styles of leadership and draws parallels with rulers from other eras. He also looks at the way Hitler and Churchill estimated each other as leaders, and how it affected the outcome of the war. In a world that is as dependent on leadership as any earlier age, HITLER AND CHURCHILL asks searching questions about our need to be led. In doing so, Andrew Roberts forces us to re-examine the way that we look at those who take decisions for us.Format:Paperback

Excellent book that blends history and leadership insights
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book was assigned to me for a doctoral level class in leadership. It is an excellent and fascinating book that compares / contrasts Hitler's and Churchill's comparative history (pre-war and war years), and their respective leadership styles and choices. It is fascinating history, as well as good leadership insight.
Well worth the purchase

Thoroughly interesting, very readable, the book reveals facts and insights into the minds and personalities of these two powerful leaders, the two greatest political orators of the twentieth century.
Both good and evil people may display leadership!

Hitler and Churchill: Secrets of Leadership This is a wonderfully written book comparing a fine leader who was a good man with a fine leader who was, probably, the twentieth century's most evil man. The message is that fine leadership does not imply goodness or badness. Oddly enough, with this serious theme the book contains some delightful humor.
Truely the secrets of leadership
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
For people out there who enjoy a reading an excellent novel, or know someone who enjoys reading this is a must have, or a wonderful gift. In this novel they compare the differences and at the same time their similarities of leadership between the two men, how they were both very committed to lead their country to victory, and would do anything in their power to do so. "Secrets of Leadership" has points or facts that you would have never known about both Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler, how Hitler wasn't mean and tough all the time, and at time's actually showed affection ( that's all I have to say on the subject), also they have three very interesting sections of illustrations, and explains how they used the media or the press to inspire and motivate their followers and soldiers. All in all this is a great book for anyone who is interested and even for those who are not into the whole war thing.
