Did you know one of the most famous leaders in history used to be a
terrible student who got awful grades? Meet Winston Churchill! Born
in a massive 187-room mansion, Winston didn't like school much, but
he absolutely loved history and action. As a young man, he traveled
the world as a soldier and war reporter. He even got captured in a
war zone in South Africa! How did he escape? He jumped a tall fence
and traveled 300 miles across enemy lines with nothing but four
slabs of chocolate in his pocket! His biggest adventure came later.
At age 65, when most people retire, Winston became the Prime
Minister of Britain during World War II. When things looked
completely hopeless against Adolf Hitler, Churchill used his
powerful, booming speeches to give the whole country courage to
fight back and win the war! He wasn't just a tough leader, though.
Winston painted over 500 landscapes, won a Nobel Prize for his
amazing writing, and absolutely adored animals. His favorite was a
little marmalade cat named Jock who attended top-secret government
meetings! Tune in to discover the brave and brilliant life of
Winston Churchill!
