He survived 50 gunfights and drank 20,000 bottles of champagne...and, of course, by resisting Hitler he preserved Europe as well as perhaps the entire world." (Draw Riebling in Churchill's Finest Hour) Was he "the greatest human being ever to take up 10 Downing Avenue"? Or a man whose "brilliant but unsound judgement resulted in detrimental outcomes for Britain as well as for the entire world"? Almost 50 years after his death, issue still rages over Sir Winston Churchill's contribution to record.

Using one point, though, the biographers and historians remain unanimous: Churchill led an astonishing life as a soldier, world statesman, historian, and Noble Award Laureate. When he perished at 90 in 1965, one of the most crucial results in modern record had remaining the stage. From providing a few of the 20th century's ideal soundbytes to effectively navigating THE UK to victory in World Battle II against great odds, Churchill was at the forefront of global occurrences for many years, becoming one of the most influential Britons in history. In 2002 he was known as the best Briton of All Time, and 40 years previously he was the first person to be produced an honorary citizen of the United States.
