“
Churchill could therefore leave the Home Front, the organisation of the total man-power of the country, of its industrial and war production and supplies, the rationing of food, the financing of it all, to his colleagues.

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Churchill could therefore leave the Home Front, the organisation of the total man-power of the country, of its industrial and war production and supplies, the rationing of food, the financing of it all, to his colleagues. In all this, the most Churchillian figure among Labour leaders, Ernest Bevin, played a part second only to Churchill in winning the war." in the context of "A. L. Rowse, 'The Summing-Up—Churchill's Place in History', in Charles Eade (ed.), Churchill By His Contemporaries (1953), p. 345" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
