Greatness

Reagan, Churchill, and the Making of Extraordinary Leaders



For the core conservative market; for the many fans and students of Reagan and Churchill; for readers of books like Hayward's own The Age of Reagan and Churchill on Leadership, as well as leadership studies like Peggy Noonan's When Character Was King and Dinesh D'Souza's Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader.

The Unexplored Connections Between Two of History’s Greatest Leaders

Ronald Reagan and Winston Churchill were true giants of the twentieth century, but somehow historians have failed to notice the many similarities between these extraordinary leaders. Until now.

In Greatness, Steven F. Hayward–who has written acclaimed studies of both Reagan and Churchill–goes beneath superficial differences to uncover the remarkable parallels between the two statesmen. In exploring these connections, Hayward shines a light on the nature of political genius and the timeless aspects of statesmanship–critical lessons in this or any age.
