CHURCHILL’S WAR LAB: CODE-BREAKERS, BOFFINS AND INNOVATORS: THE MAVERICKS CHURCHILL LED TO VICTORY
Book ID/图书代码： 07980010B35426
English Summary/英文概要： As a young boy he re-enacted historic battles with toy soldiers, as a soldier he saw action on three continents and as the Prime Minister only a direct edict from King George VI could keep him from joining the troops on D-Day.
CHURCHILL’S WAR LAB will reveal how Churchill’s passion for military history, his unique leadership style and his patronization of radical new ideas would lead to new technology and new tactics that would save lives and enable an Allied victory. No war generated more incredible theories, more technical advances, more scientific leaps or more pioneering work that lay the foundation for the post-war computer revolution. And it was Churchill’s dogged determination and enthusiasm for revolutionary ideas that fuelled this extraordinary outpouring of British genius. From the co-author of COLD WAR comes an exciting new take on Churchill’s war leadership and the story of a complex, powerful and inventive war leader.
And the book describes how Churchill immersed himself in the work of his engineers and inventors, his soldiers, sailors and airmen, imprinting his own personality on the machines which were created in his name.
CHURCHILL’S WAR LAB reveals the character of Winston Churchill as a War Lord, as a military thinker and as a brilliant but maddening leader to work with, and paints a vivid military portrait of one of the greatest Britons ever to have lived.
CHURCHILL’S WAR LAB will appeal to readers of military history, of military technology, and to readers who are interested in 20th century leadership. This will be a new angle on one of the biggest names (I hope that is not a eurocentric view) in 20th century history.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： ★ 如果是你高階領導人，你絕對不能不讀這本書！
★ 絕非是一本提倡戰爭的書！而是敎你，如何將邱吉爾的智慧與洞見，運用在商場、職場之中！
採用英國第一偉人--邱吉爾看待戰爭的觀點，截取其軍事天賦，運用在商場中！
當邱吉爾還是個小男孩時，他和玩具士兵玩發動歷史戰爭的遊戲。
後來，他擔任一名士兵，看見三大陸的戰鬥；再後來，身為首相，他只能服從英皇佐治六世的命令，並使他遠離從軍。
《邱吉爾的不死精神》展露了秋吉爾對於軍事歷史的愛好、獨特的領導風格、以及激進的新觀點，這些科技新技術、兵法策略都將解救世人並使聯軍獲得勝利。
邱吉爾認為︰有戰爭，世界才會產生更多難以置信的論調、更多科技因而提升、科學將會躍進、更多先驅性的工作亦會為戰後的電腦(計算機)革命奠定基礎。
邱吉爾看待戰爭，始終堅持不懈的決心與熱忱，展露了一個英國戰爭界鬼才身上非凡的光芒。
然而，這絕非是一本提倡戰爭的書！而是敎你，如何將邱吉爾的智慧與洞見，運用在商場、職場之中！
