Well, we all know of course, but for those that may not (and we hope that you might forward this on to them) we have an introductory video which we hope compels many more to delve into a bit more about Sir Winston.

Greeting Churchillians,
 
Is there any place I can find how Churchill organized himself in its daily issues? Not talking about the time he awake or get to sleep, but during his daily job, if he read reports first, how he get notice of how the war was going and how he issue orders to run the country.
 
thank you for any help
 
Daniel

Martin Gilbert's small paperback called "Winston Churchill's War Leadership" 104 pgs, pub.2003 (ISBN: 1-4000-7732-X) is a good place to start.

You might also read Winston Churchill By His Personal Secretary
Elizabeth Nel. It has a lot of specific detail about how he organized
his day. It's available through the Churchill Museum, I believe.

Touring the War Rooms and then reading Mrs. Nel's memoir was the
inspiration for me to write Mr. Churchill's Secretary, which will be
published by Random House (US) next summer.

All best,

Susan

Hi All,

Everytime I think I know WSC's secretaries and dectives more come out of the 'woodwork":    Does anybody know of a complete list of these folk and with  the dates they served the 'Old Man' ...

thank you

Geoff
