Sample Book Insights:

#1 Roosevelt and Churchill were both very intelligent and ambitious individuals, but they also had their weaknesses. Churchill was stubborn and sure of himself, which could be good, but he was also pig-headed in his own way.

#2 The dinner at Gray’s Inn was a glittering occasion, with high British officials paying homage to Roosevelt as the representative of their American ally. Roosevelt was unexpectedly asked to speak. He began to talk about the importance of the personal in politics and war.

#3 The cousins were obsessed with politics from a young age. Roosevelt was a state senator, assistant secretary of the navy, the 1920 Democratic nominee for vice president, and governor of New York. Churchill was the quintessential parliamentarian.

#4 Roosevelt and Churchill were extremely fascinated by each other, and their relationship was very similar to that of Roosevelt and Stalin. They were both men of peace, but they were also courageous and cool under fire.
