IMHO he was the only person who had what it took to lead the country at a time of national crisis. Far better than Neville Chamberlain pacifist) was.

Strange as it may seem, I'm confident he was a hero in the eyes of the public but the election after wars end saw him defeated.

Many of the people I know or knew who were alive at the time )my father included) would often say 'He was a great wartime leader but quite the opposite in peacetime'.
