A very well documented comparison between Hitler and Churchill's leadership techniques. The author is very thorough, yes, but the constant allusion or paraphrase of his own arguments/conclusions get repetitive and, even sometimes, tiring.

Learned some interesting facts about Hitler, other than the fact he was a mentally sick individual.
