His leadership helped to open a path for both the 10th Panzer Division and the 1st Panzer Division to…

Delivered on June 4, 1940, Winston Churchill’s speech “We Shall Fight on the Beaches” is one of the most recognized speeches during World War II. Churchill, who at the time was the prime minister of the United Kingdom did not actually broadcast this speech to the citizens of the United Kingdom, rather to the House of Commons.

As a result, the books I read were The Presidency of Dwight D Eisenhower by Elmo Richardson and In Review: Pictures I’ve Kept: A Concise Pictorial Autobiography by Eisenhower himself. I enjoyed reading the books, Eisenhower was a fascinating man with an exciting…
