This is an excellent short overview of the attributes of Winston Churchill's leadership as prime minister during the Second World War. Originating as a 2002 White House talk, Gilbert pared his analysis down to the basics, identifying the various qualities Churchill displayed and then illustrating them with contemporary anecdotes and quotes as examples. Pithy and insightful, it is the sort of short book that only someone as knowledgeable about their subject as Gilbert could achieve as successfully as he did here. Anyone interested in learning more about how Churchill operated as a leader would do well to start by reading this book, which is a small but valuable gem of its type.

CONTINUE TO PESTER, NAG AND BITE is a brilliant, close-up look at Winston Churchill's leadership during the Second World War. Gilbert gets to the crux of eternal questions that have plagued the world's most powerful leaders, even up to the recently battlescarred politicians such as George Bush and Tony Blair. How does a war leader pace and pattern his day? How does he draw help and inspiration from those around him? How does he assess the information that is brought to him? How does his personal or political philosophy, or moral sense, sustain him? How does he deal with setbacks and disasters? What part do the secret worlds of Intelligence and Deception play in his decisions? How much of what he has to do must be kept secret? By looking behind the public figure and wartime propaganda images, Gilbert reveals a very human, sensitive, and often tormented man, who nevertheless found the strength to lead his nation forward from the darkest and most dangerous of times, towards the defeat of a tenacious enemy.
