Churchill & Orwell: The Fight For Freedom

This was a good book, recommended by a friend.  Though some of the book focused on the biographies of Churchill and Orwell, much of the middle of the book talked about the events leading to World War 2, which were really interesting.  I learned that the ruling party in England was advocating appeasement of the Nazis, which Churchill was against.  I also learned of England's disdain for Americans, though Churchill said nice things in public about Americans to garner their help in the war.  I also learned about Russia's role in the war, and their initial pact with the Germans.

I was expecting much more interrelation between their stories, but the book was more about how their individual efforts reflected what was happening at the time.
