Anglophile Reviews: Churchill’s Secret Skills by Binden Shovel

This book is a lovely little self-pulbished title that was sent to me for review. Everyone knows I’m a huge admirer of Winston Churchill and this book provides a fascinating insight into the man and how he thought.

The book is called Churchill’s Secret Skills and is a unique look through history at Churchill’s qualities and how they can be used today in a business setting.

The author, Binden Shovel, has carefully done his research and it shows. The book is well written, thorough and joy to read.

I soak up anything about Winston Churchill and this book has made an excellent addition to my Anglophile Library. Shovel provides illuminating commentary backed up by primary source documents. All in all, it makes a very interesting read.

One neat thing about the book is the way it portrays Churchill as a person, a person who knew how to use people in order to get things done. There’s a lot of good nuggets in the book about how to manage people so this book succeeds in it’s intentions to show the business world how a few lessons from history will help them have a better business.

So, if you’re looking for a way to combine work with Churchill, this is the book. Well worth the money.

5 out of 5 Union Jacks for informative history with a modern purpose.
